Camera Overview — Olympus C-5060 Wide Zoom
Key Features — Olympus C-5060 Wide Zoom
5MP 1/1.8-Inch Sensor: Captures images at up to 2592x1944 pixels on a larger-than-average compact sensor, delivering solid detail in well-lit conditions.
Wide-Start Zoom Lens: Built-in 4x optical zoom starting at a wide equivalent focal length, well-suited to landscapes, interiors, and group shots.
Articulating TFT LCD: The 1.8-inch tilting and swiveling display allows low-angle, overhead, and off-axis framing that fixed-screen compacts cannot achieve.
Hot Shoe + Pop-Up Flash: The built-in flash is backed by an ISO-standard hot shoe, letting photographers attach an external flash unit for more controlled lighting setups.
Adobe RGB Support: Shooting in Adobe RGB alongside sRGB gives photographers a wider color gamut to work with during post-processing.
Optical Tunnel Viewfinder: Provides a physical viewfinder as an alternative to the LCD, useful in bright outdoor conditions or when conserving battery life.

Description — Olympus C-5060 Wide Zoom
The Olympus Camedia C-5060 Wide Zoom is a point-and-shoot compact camera equipped with a 5MP sensor measuring 1/1.8 inch. It captures stills at up to 2592x1944 pixels and supports both sRGB and Adobe RGB color profiles for flexible editing. The camera's 1.8-inch tilting and swiveling TFT LCD — resolving at 130,388 dots — is a highlight of the design, enabling a range of shooting angles that a fixed screen cannot accommodate.
An optical tunnel viewfinder serves as a secondary composing option. For flash, the C-5060 pairs a built-in pop-up flash with a standard ISO hot shoe, accommodating external flash units when needed. ISO sensitivity runs from 80 to 400, and burst shooting is supported at 2.7fps.
Storage is handled via CompactFlash and a secondary format. The body combines plastic and metal construction, measures 116 x 87 x 66 mm, and weighs 480g. Video recording is available at 480p at 15fps.
USB connectivity is included, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not present.
