Advantages: Easy to use, once to know your way around the different functions Disadvantages: Rather Bulky compared to many other "handysize" Digital Cameras
...The C760 Olympus Ultra Zoom is an exclusive offering from the Jessops chain of camera shops.
The C-760 model is a 3.2 mega pixel version of the 4 mega pixel C-750 UZ. It boasts an excellent 10x optical zoom.
The lens - giving you the equivalent of 42- 420mm on a standard 35mm camera is powerful enough to get you right in the thick of it while Olympus has worked hard to produce a Super macro mode of just 3cm. The rather boxy design houses a 16Mb xD Picture Card, a custom made lithium Ion battery, and the large 10x optical zoom lens. At the back you'll find Olympus' standardised 1.8" LCD screen that is large enough to clearly see what is going on.
Olympus has opted for an electronic viewfinder. The resolution of 240,000 pixels is good enough to give you crystal clear images and while the electronic viewfinder is not to everyone...

Advantages: Excellent Zoom Disadvantages: Noisy (but in a cute way)
...I cannot believe how great the on screen zoom is on this camera!! A photo we took in a supermarket (dont ask) could be zoomed in so much on the screen that you could see faces of people you didnt even know were there!
I also like the sound feature where you can record snippets of sound (eg frog croaking).
I own three other digital cameras and I say this on is by far the best so far (Sony / Olympus / Sanyo are the others).
Also - the price makes it an excellent purchase!
If you are new to digital cameras then this one will really impress, and if you already have some experience you will be over the moon with this one. I sincerely recommend taking a look - i am sure you will buy one!
Some interesting facts: 3.14M Effective Pixels. 2x Optical Zoom 3.2x Digital Zoom. Storage: SD. 1/2.7 " Sensor Size. 1.5” LCD. Auto/Exp Comp Modes. 2/10...
