Olympus C-170 Review at DigitalCameraInfo

Olympus C-170DigitalCameraInfo have published their review of the 4-megapixel Olympus C-170 (also called the D-425 in the US).

“The Olympus D-425 performed fairly well, displaying consistent color reproduction throughout testing. The camera managed to garner an overall color rating of 8.42 with over-saturation occurring in areas which can be expected from most point-and-shoot cameras. The Foliage Green (#4) and Brown (#1) hues were both over-saturated which is a bit unexpected although an over-saturated green will merely make the enhanced red and orange tones pop from the image even more without seeming too unnatural. For a low priced point-and-shoot mode, the Olympus D-425 will produce colors that are far stronger than some cameras costing twice as much.”

Hi,

I bought the D-425 its performing great. I would however like to second your thought here you said that the green and brown look oversaturated,however they are not, probably they are brighter, did you check the saturation levels?
