I persuaded my boss to update the digital camera we use at work, so I went
and purchased an Olympus Camedia C-2000. This new camera is a 2 million
pixel job meaning it photographs at 1600x1200.

Naturally I felt obliged to give it a road-test, so today I took some
pictures of LEGO models, using the macro mode and fill-in flash. Quite
simply the photos are stunning!!

A picture says a thousand words, so just take a look for yourself:

The pictures are taken at the default quality setting, but have been
exported from PSP with a JPG quality of 15 to keep the file size sensible,
at around 200k (the originals are about 400k)

The only problem seems to be battery life. I don't know if I'm doing
something wrong, or if the camera has a fault, but a set of alkaline AA
batteries lasts about 10 shots before the camera starts warning of low
battery power!
