Olympus C2100 Ultra Zoom Digital Camera
Here’s an oldie but goodie. Released in 2000, the 2.1-megapixel Olympus C2100UZ originally retailed at $999. It was remarkable in that it gave users a 10x zoom lens when most other digital cameras of that day were struck at 3x. In order to prevent blurs and shakes, Olympus devised a built-in opticial image stabilization system.
The camera is quite bulky by today’s standards, weighing just over a pound. It just goes to show how far the technology (and affordability) of digital cameras has come in seven years.
