I'm happy to report that Olympus has finally done away with that battery door that
required two hands and twelve fingers to close. The new door easily closes and latches
securely shut with little to no effort. The bottom of the C-3030 is nice and flat and lends
itself well to being mounted on a tripod.
The 3X zoom (32-96mm equivalent) is an 8-element, all-glass aspherical lens with
continuous 2.5X digital telephoto. It's not as fast as the F2 lens on the C-2020 but it's
still performs well in low light.
Aperture settings of F2.8 - F11 are selectable in 1/3 step increments. Autofocus or
manual focus range is from 8" to infinity.
