Want to show your friends and family your digital photos but there's no computer around? Print them out. Someone wants a copy of a photo you took? Don't go through the hassle of negatives and photo lab processing...or re-shooting them as in the past. Print them out. With the C-211 Zoom, you can choose to print one, some or all of the photos stored on the supplied SmartMedia card, whichever you desire. That's the beauty of this camera, it provides so many options.
Of course, being a digital camera in addition to an instant printing camera, the C-211 Zoom provides a number of features to provide great digital images as well. The 2.1-megapixel camera provides 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution and utilizes its 3x Olympus optical glass zoom lens with 2x telephoto to capture high-quality digital photos for use on your USB-compatible Macintosh or PC, or to print from other sources besides the C-211 Zoom (such as Olympus' P-330N or P-400 Printer) quickly and easily. The C-211 Zoom also includes some of the cool features which have become a standard in Olympus digital camera models such as sequential shooting mode where you can shoot up to 45 in SQ (standard-quality) mode at 1.3 photos/second and the QuickTime(TM) Movie mode.
