Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom

I have had my Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom digital camera for about a year now. It's as easy or complex to use as you want. You can have it on full auto for a point and shoot, or any degree of tinkering down to full manual exposure and focus. I personally keep it on aperture priority with a little negative exposure adjustment so I can brighten it on the PC.

The down points are irritating, but can be overcome by prefocus and manual focus.

I love this Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom digital camera. Let me say this right from the start. I bought a larger capacity memory card on eBay (256 mb) and can now forget of ever running out of memory. I just download what I want to have printed to the 16 mb card and go to the drug store to print out my prints for the album. With a 1280 resolution, which is plenty for me, I can take over 800 pictures! With the software I can optimize what I don't like and then load it back on my 16 mb spare card or put it into my photo software folder. The quality of the prints as well as the photos themselves is beyond reproach. I am having a ball with this little jewel. One feature, I also really appreciated, is the remote control. With this I can control when the camera triggers, rather than waiting until it shoots (just when you blink). Just make certain, that when the light is not quite bright and you take photos of people, that they don't move, because the automatic setting may be at wide aperture and low speed. That happens often inside a room where it's bright enough that the flash is not needed.

BTW, I bought it through eBay at a much better price than store price ($385.- vs. $449.-)

This Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom is a Superb digital camera. All the features and zooming are superb. The timelag in taking pictures is a bit of a setback: I solved the problem with sequential shooting. It's also a bit bulky, but this high quality amateur camera with so many great features makes up for all these tiny disadvantages. I bought it some months ago and am constantly amazed at finding more features on it.
