Olympus has added a new model to its digital line-up. The C-180 is a budget model aimed at newcomers to digital photography. Featuring an effective resolution of 5.1MP and a fixed focus 36.7mm lens (35 mm equivalence) constructed of 5 lenses in 4 groups, the C-180 includes Olympus’s TruePic TURBO processor to help produce top-quality images. Seven scene modes are preset for different shooting conditions including: portrait, night scene, landscape, sport and self-portrait. Power is supplied from 2x AA batteries and photographs can be stored on the 14Mb internal memory or by using a removable xD Picture Card. The C-180 is Pictbridge compatible, enabling users to obtain direct prints from compatible printers, and includes a 1.5-inch LCD screen. The Olympus Camedia C-180 will be available in June for £130.
