Besides the bright F2.8 high-resolution lens (which offers zoom performance equivalent to 38 - 380 mm on a 35 mm camera) and optical image stabilisation system, the C-2100 Ultra Zoom is also equipped with an electronic viewfinder. As with a conventional SLR camera, it displays the exact image that will be captured. A choice of three different exposure metering systems, auto bracketing and exposure compensation are included to guarantee high-quality results. In addition, this All-In-One digital camera incorporates a USB interface, A/V connection as well as a contact for the optional FL-40 external flash unit. Naturally, the C-2100 Ultra Zoom not only allows for great zoom photography, it also records QuickTime movies with sound plus shots in sepia or black and white.
