Olympus Camedia C-720 Ultra Zoom – 3.0MP with Kodachrome-like photos

Olympus Camedia C-720 Ultra Zoom – 3.0MP Bridge Digital Camera (2002)

Meet the Olympus Camedia C-720 Ultra Zoom, a true early-digital classic available now at Retro Cameras Ireland. Released in 2002 with a launch price around €600, this was one of the most advanced consumer cameras of its time — combining an 8× optical zoom lens with Olympus’s unmistakable colour science. The tones it produces are rich, warm, and almost Kodachrome-like, giving your photos that nostalgic cinematic look straight out of camera.

✨ Key Features:

• 3.0 Megapixel CCD sensor – vibrant, film-like colour and detail

• 8× Optical Zoom (equiv. 40–320 mm) + 3× Digital Zoom = 24× total zoom range

• 1.5" LCD screen and optical viewfinder

• USB Auto-Connect (works with modern computers)

• Full manual, aperture, and shutter-priority controls

• Compact SLR-style body with ergonomic grip

• Records stills (JPEG) and short QuickTime video clips

• Takes ordinary AA batteries

📸 Condition: Pre-owned, tested, and fully working. Some normal cosmetic wear from age.
🔋 Includes: Camera body, lens cap, 64 MB Olympus SmartMedia (ID) card, strap, and mini USB cable – ready to use and transfer your photos directly. 

🎞️ Why it’s special:
The C-720 Ultra Zoom produces remarkably deep contrast and rich, saturated colours that feel straight out of slide film — very close to the legendary Kodachrome palette. Perfect for photographers chasing authentic early-2000s digital tones or collectors who appreciate Olympus’s unique CCD look.

💾 Storage format: Uses SmartMedia (SSFDC) 3.3 V with ID, one of the early-digital memory card types, shared only by Olympus and Fujifilm models of that era — a real collector’s item in itself.
