Description — Olympus C-820L
The Olympus Camedia C-820L is a vintage point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/3-inch sensor delivering 0.35MP resolution and a maximum image size of 640x480 pixels. It shoots at a fixed ISO 100 with no sensitivity adjustment, and focusing is entirely manual via a single focus point — there is no autofocus system on board. A built-in flash handles supplemental lighting, while a 2.0-inch fixed LCD display and an optical viewfinder give you two ways to frame your shots.
The plastic body measures 128 x 65 x 45 mm and weighs 265g, making it a lightweight and pocketable companion. Power comes from 4x AA batteries, rated for approximately 100–200 shots per set. There is no image stabilization, no video recording capability, and no connectivity of any kind.
The C-820L is best appreciated today as a collectible piece of early digital photography history or as a tool for intentional lo-fi image making.
