Key Advantages

The Olympus Camedia C-4000 offers a high-quality Schneider-Kreuznach lens ensuring sharp images. Its 4-megapixel sensor was notable for detailed photography at its time. The camera's 3x optical zoom helps capture subjects from moderate distances with clarity. It provides a user-friendly interface and several exposure modes suited for beginner and semi-professional photographers. Its built-in flash supports low-light shooting conditions. The camera's compact and lightweight body makes it a convenient choice for travel and outdoor usage.

Limitations

The Camedia C-4000's ISO range maxes out at 320, which limits performance in very low light and results in noticeable image noise at higher sensitivities. The digital zoom reduces image quality when used extensively. It uses the outdated SmartMedia card format that is now difficult to find and has limited storage capacity compared to modern memory card types. The LCD screen is only 1.8 inches with low resolution by modern standards, making image review less clear. Continuous shooting speed and buffer capacity are limited, inhibiting high-speed photography. The absence of video recording functionality restricts its versatility.
