Think of the Olympus C-211 as either the best Polaroid instant camera you could ever own or as a quality 2-megapixel digital camera with a built-in printer. Olympus designed this camera for on-the-job use by realtors, insurance adjusters, law enforcement personnel, and anyone else who needs both the flexibility of a digital camera and the ability to instantly print photos.
As a digital camera, it’s similar to the popular Olympus D490, with 1,600 x 1,200 pixel output, 3x optical/2x digital zoom, self-timer, macro, multimode flash, and movie mode. Users compose and review images on the camera’s 2-inch LCD screen (the camera lacks a traditional optical viewfinder), and pictures are stored on SmartMedia cards. To quickly transfer files to your computer, the camera features a USB port.
The printer can be used to make instant Polaroid pictures from any file in the camera’s memory. Simply choose the photo you want to print, zoom, crop, brighten, and sharpen it as you see fit, and press the big green Print button. In about 20 seconds, the photo will pop out of the camera. The image begins to materialize almost instantly, and takes approximately two minutes to finish. The camera uses standard Type 500 Polaroid film.

The camera ia a lot of Fun. It is very easy to use. The instruction book is extremely clear – this helps make every aspect of the camera come to life in a enjoyable fashion. This aspect is oftem overlooked by many manfactures. It has full USB capability ! The software is easy to use and works on Windows 2000 Professional. The Polaroid printer is the nicest part of all. You can crop and improve your photos of the LCD before you print them. It uses Polaroid 500 Film which is widely available i.e. the same film for the Joy Cam and Captiva models. The color and picture quality is beautiful. The Digital camera is a gem as well! Polaroid’s lastest color films are vibrant in color and clear. It is a real hit with my family!

One thing for sure this camera does everything they say it will
and more. The only problem I have with it. Is that is bulky and a little awkward and sometimes the polaroid feature will not eject
a photo. For a buisness camera its nice for a family camera it needs a little work one other draw back if you use the polaroid feature alot make sure you have lots of batteries because it is very hard on them. Rechargable one’s are the only way to go. It also will take upto 20seconds of video, the digital pic’s are very clear and print out on a good photo printer as good as any film camera. J gillespie

I am not the best picture taker, I have used only the basic cameras in the past. The ones that have a simple telephoto built in, auto-exposure, you get the drift, a simple to use, under 100buck one. I started looking for a digital camera because I am a gadget nut, and this went right along with my interest in computers and always having aleast a showing of the newest inovations. I did some reading, not to much, and listened to others as to what to look for, and the price. Well, when all was said and done, I still had no idea what I wanted or needed or could afford.
One day, just by chance, I saw the Olypus C-211 in a store. I started reading the info on the box, well, knowing what little I did know, it sounded easy enough to use and advanced enough to play with. It looked great on the box, and the outside info was enough to convince me that I had done my homework and this was the camera for options and the price.
Ok, the old saying to good to be true, isnt always true. This is the exception. It does a great job for those of us that want good pictures, better than my film camera. It has alot of the bells and whistle you might be looking for, low-to-high resolution pictures, short mpg movies, zoom, flash and a whole lot more that I still am learning.
The one or two draw backs to this camera, or at least the package I got, was the memory-card wasnt really enough, so I bought an extra 128mb card. I also had to buy a hidride battery charger. These two items cost about another 100 dollars, but well worth the investment.
There are two main drawbacks to me, one being not so bad, the other is what I consider a major one. The first being size and weight. It is about 4×7 in. in size and wieghts alittle over one pound, both acceptable, seing as it is also an instant camera for those who want pictures now. These are small, and the film isnt the best, but sufficient for everyday need. The one major drawback to me, is the cost of the film for the instant camera side of the Camera. But, again, you dont use it all that much, but it is convenient to have.
All and all, this is a great camera for all around digital use, not a real high-end, nor a low-end camera. It does a great job at 2.11 megapixels and all the little built-in tricks.
Well, that about does it for this persons opinion, Thanks for reading this and do your homework.

No way around it, this camera is big – about the size of a digital video camera. But the ability to print the Polaroids is really compelling for fun family events and such. You can print a picture of your kids and their friends right there in the park rather than waiting until you are back at your PC.
The c211 is very full featured, and yet you can pick it up and take good pictures right away. Auto-focus (not fixed). Optical and digital zoom.

I own one of these cameras and have to say it takes wonderful pic’s.some time the polaroid will miss and not put out a picture which is aggravating but the camera it self does every thing it says it will. I print pictures from it on a lexmark stand alone printer from the chip and they look great . I wish they would have kept the polaroid and made it not so big and bulky. it also is hard on batteries if you use the polaroid alot . J gillespie
