Olympus Camedia C-1400 XL
This very famous camera is a bestseller for digital cameras.
It features a 1.41 Mpixel sensor, a 3 x optical zoom, and a very fast image storage of 0.3 seconds.

Comparable 1.5 Mpixels cameras with optical zoom products include the Kodak DC 280 and DC 290, and the Agfa ePhoto CL-50.

Olympus C-1400 XL
Olympus C-1400 XL
  • 3x zoom "All-In-One" digital SLR camera
  • Sequential mode at max resolution up to 3.3 im/sec
  • Connector for external flash synchro
    • Two outstanding innovations characterize the European market leader's new flagship. In the first instance, the Olympus Camedia C-1400XL allows sequence shots to be taken in ultra-quick succession. In the past, users had to wait up to six seconds for the last image to be saved - with Olympus' digital cameras, up to 15 seconds with other models. Now, the DRAM(working memory) has been increased four-fold, which means images can be saved in intervals of 0.3 seconds each. This makes the Olympus Camedia C-1400XL nearly as quick as high quality motor-driven analog SLR cameras. Secondly, it is no small wonder that Olympus has succeeded in offering optional synchronization of an external (!) flash device unprecedented in this price range. While it is relatively simple to achieve with analog cameras, the makers of digital cameras are faced with two difficult problems: the optimal synchronization of the flash device and super-quick CCD as well as the exact colour calibration.

      The heart of this newOlympus Camedia C1400xl is the progressive 2/3 1.41million pixel-CCD, which guarantees a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 real image dots. (Olympus thus uses the only progressive CCD with such a high resolution for its high-end digital camera.) In combination with the high resolution optical 3x zoom lens and a precise autofocus, the Olympus C-1400XL delivers crystal-clear pictures in brilliant colours.

      Conceived as an All-In-One digital SLR camera, the Olympus C1400XL is equipped with all the digital photographer needs for creative and perfect digital photographs. In response to requests from users who wanted greater creative scope with their digital SLR cameras, Olympus has developed converter lenses for wide, tele and macro effects especially for the Olympus C1400XL. Action shots can be viewed one by one on the 4.5cm TFT LCD monitor, or presented as a fully automatic slide show at the press of a button.

      The Olympus C1400XL has a powerful flash system, as well as a quick focus mode. Besides a SmartMedia card with 4 MB of memory, users can opt for 8 or 16 MB cards. To print the images stored on the SmartMedia cards, Olympus currently offers two dye-sublimation photo-quality printers. Without needing computer support, both models deliver brilliant postcard-size prints, which are virtually indistinguishable from conventional laboratory photos.

      The Olympus C1400XL comes complete with powerful Nickel Hydride batteries, an exclusive charger and a 4 MB memory card.

      The new Olympus C1400XL combines excellent performance with many additional innovative features setting new standards as did its award-winning predecessor, the C-1400L. With a 1.41 million pixel-CCD guaranteeing highest resolution and a 3x zoom lens it delivers crystal-clear pictures in brilliant colours. Its large DRAM allows up to five images to be taken in 0.3 seconds each. Synchronisation with an external flash is also possible. On the TFT LCD monitor the images can be regarded comfortably and for storing the pictures a SmartMedia card with 4 MB of memory is included. Another extra is the 2/3 inch (1.7cm) CCD solid-state image pickup achieving 1,410,000 Pixel (total) 1,310,000 Pixel (effective). Optical TTL SLR viewfinder 4.5 cm colour TFT LCD monitor with approx. 61,000 pixels (brightness adjustment possible)

      Olympus is renowned for high image quality on all its digital cameras. Advanced technology and the fundamental expert know-how brought over from analog photography put Olympus digital cameras into world-leaders-position in image quality. The heart of this new innovation is the progressive 2/3 1.41million pixel-CCD, which guarantees a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 real image dots. In combination with the high resolution optical 3x zoom lens and a precise autofocus, the Olympus C1400XL delivers crystal-clear pictures in brilliant colours. Action shots can be viewed one by one on the 4.5cm TFT LCD monitor, or presented as a fully automatic slide show at the press of a button.
