Description — Olympus C-120
The Olympus Camedia C-120 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built on a 1/3-inch, 2MP sensor capable of 1600x1200 maximum image resolution. Its ISO range of 100–400 covers standard shooting conditions, while the contrast detection autofocus system with fixed focus keeps operation simple. A built-in flash handles basic low-light needs, and shooters can frame shots using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.6-inch fixed LCD with 61,000-dot resolution.
The plastic body measures 123 x 65 x 45 mm and weighs 250g, making it genuinely pocketable. Powered by 4x AA batteries, the camera avoids proprietary charging concerns. Burst mode is available at up to 1.5 frames per second.
Color profiles include Standard, Black & White, and Sepia. USB connectivity is present for image offloading, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. There is no image stabilization of any kind. The C-120 represents an accessible early digital point-and-shoot, suited to collectors or those exploring the history of consumer digital photography.
