DigitalCameraInfo have posted their first impressions of the new Olympus C-55 Zoom digital camera (also called the C-5500 Sports Zoom in the US) that was announced at the CES show last week.

“The Olympus C-5500 has a full automatic mode, both Shutter and Aperture Priority modes, 11 scene modes, and a manual mode. These provide a versatile range of shooting options for both beginning and intermediate users. Beginners who purchase this camera can expect to keep it for several years. It is easy to navigate and operate, which is a feature that attracts all levels of users. The 2.7 frame-per-second burst mode and 5x optical zoom make this camera a perfect candidate to shoot soccer games or action-packed sporting events. The image stabilization function active on the Movie Mode is a rare feature that only enhances the value of the C-5500. The 5.1-megapixel Olympus C-5500 seems to be an impressive camera and will be enhance the Camedia series when it hits shelves in February 2005.”
