Olympus Camedia D-370 1.3 MP CCD sensor digicam (uses SmartMedia and AA batteries)
The Olympus Camedia D-D70 (called the C-100 in some countries) is a vintage digicam from 2001 featuring a 1.3 MP CCD sensor. It features a very small amount of built-in memory but also supports SmartMedia cards for extra storage. No SmartMedia card is included.
A nice feature of this model is its built-in UBS type B port which requires no drivers for most computers (we tested it with a modern Macbook Air and the camera was recognized).
This camera requires 4 AA batteries (not included).
Condition notes
We tested this camera and it is working correctly. It is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos) except for the rubber cover for the USB connector which is quite dried out and will probably fall off eventually (see the side view photo, rubber port covers from this era were infamous for falling off even when new, it doesn't affect the camera's functionality).
