Olympus C-2500L

Article Abstract:

Olympus America's $1,499 C-2500L digital camera is an example of the current trend towards higher resolution at lower prices and digital cameras that look like traditional cameras. The C-2500L bears a striking resemblance to Olympus' IS-3 Deluxe 35mm film camera and offers a 3X zoom lens that is the equivalent of a 36-110mm 35mm camera lens. The lens has a 43mm front thread that accepts attachments, including a B-28 wide-angle converter and a 1.45X telephoto. The viewfinder indicates the focusing and spot metering areas and offers diopter correction. A 1.8-inch LCD screen on the back of the camera is used for composition, preview and editing.

Silicon film

Article Abstract:

Silicon Film Technologies Inc has developed a module, called silicon film, that fits inside a 35mm camera, enabling capture of digital images. A user can switch back and forth between silicon film and conventional film. Silicon Film's technology uses a Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, chosen for affordability and low-power-consumption advantages. Silicon Film's reusable EPS-1 module stores 24 digital pictures.

Digital film: not just a CompactFlash in the pan

Article Abstract:

Digital film is simply a storage medium, whereas photo-chemical film gives each image a unique color, contrast and grain structure. All the various formats of digital film are small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, and they are just as interchangeable as standard film. Most digital cameras use serial, USB or Firewire connections to download the images to a computer. The FlashPath adapter for SmartMedia uses the floppy drive, but not all new systems have floppy drives. PC cards have long been used for removable image storage and have capacities to 1GB. PC card readers such as Simple Technology's $89 SimpleStation work with Type I, II and III PC cards, as well as with other media. CompactFlash memory cards are pin-compatible with PC cards and come in sizes to 128MB, with higher capacities on the horizon. Toshiba's Solid-State Floppy Disk Card, or SmartMedia, flash memory-based card is intended specifically for digital cameras. Iomega's 40MB Clik! disk uses disk-like technology rather than solid-state flash memory.
