The Olympus D-590Z / C-470Z provides a basic level of specification in a delightfully curvy body and provides a 4-megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom lens with a 35-105mm focal range. This is a nice, compact machine and one that brings 4-megapixels to the masses at a superb price. But the smoothing of detail by over processing means the larger prints made possible by the high resolution are not what they could have been, so the C-470 is good rather than great.

The Olympus C-470 is a compact 4 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens and a decent 1.8″ screen. The camera records unlimited length videos with sound. The camera is easy to use, and produces good images with good colour and detail. The camera has a fairly quick switch on time, but focusing time is fairly average, although better outside. For around £150 (UK) this easy to use camera offers good value for money, is quite stylish, fits easily into pockets, produces good images, and has an excellent super macro mode.

Although it has not had the benefit of the worldwide advertising campaign given the Stylus Verve, Olympus has been marketing the D-590 Zoom concurrently, a camera that shares the Verve’s ease of use but at a lower price. The Olympus D-590Z / C-470Z has a smooth shape, making it easy to slip into a pocket. The body is two-tone plastic, front and back a textured silver colour separated by a shiny silver coloured band.
