...problems in low light but Olympus provided a firmware upgrade on their website which fixed the problem (it doesn't make claim to but it does, believe me!). Later versions of the camera shipped with this firmware loaded.
You can capture video with the C750 but the implementation is too gimmicky for my liking and you can hear the AF chugging on the recorded sound. Novelty value only!
Another very useful feature is the "My Mode" setting. Here you ...

Advantages: A lot of camera in a small bundle Disadvantages: Many features - could be off-putting to a novice
...price.
Why did I choose the Olympus C-750UZ? It met the requirements for the resolution (4.1 mega pixels); it has a 'big' zoom lens (10 x optical zoom - ignore the digital element as this is at the expense of picture quality); it has an acceptable movie-mode with sound; a delay timer and a remote control (so I can be in some of the results!); xD Picture Cards are available in an increasing range (and getting cheaper) and the AA batteries are ideal ...

Great Camera Review ofOlympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoomby

Advantages: Multiple functions, takes great photos Disadvantages: Not as good for low light conditions
...it. I previously owned an Olympus point and shoot digital camera (C300) and was very pleased with the ease of use and the quality of the photos. After a while, as I became more interested in photography, I wanted a camera that I could control as many of the functions as possible. I also wanted to be able to zoom in much more than was possible with the C300 (3x optical zoom). The things I wanted from the camera prior to purchase were as follows

Advantages: Superb picture quality, tremendous zoom Disadvantages: Battery life poor, user interface slightly unintuitive
When starting to search for a digital camera the only limiting factor I had put on myself was to look for a camera made by a traditional camera manufacturer – rather than one made by a technology company. This is due to a much higher quality of generic camera parts – flash and crucially lens are better made by the best.
With this in mind and a budget of roughly £500 placed on the purchase I began the search for a camera. At this stage I recommend ...

Advantages: Many features, good zoom lens, powerful for the price Disadvantages: Not very compact, only 4 Megapixels, no case as standard
I wanted a camera for all-round use, and this fits the bill perfectly. It's simple enough that I can just point-and-shoot holiday snaps, and the default 'automatic' setting produces good results in most situations. A powerful flash, self-timer and sport, low-light and landscape modes allow it to cope with just about all situations. The predominantly metal case means it's survived being thrown into a bag on several holidays with barely a scratch, and ...

Advantages: produces a very good range of pictures Disadvantages: can blur, but with a little practice this can be cured
...came across this one. The olympus 750uz, and WOW!! what a camera, its lightweight at 305g (0.7lb) and very easy to handle. Thats great when your trying to take that almost imposible shot, at least you can have a firm hold on your new camera and i don't think you will be sad at the picture that it takes either. I myself am not one for instructions ( infact i hate the things, i would rather be out there using the item than having to read loads of instructions). ...

Advantages: ease of use good picture quality Disadvantages: needs practice to prevent blurring
Excellent camera for the novice.You can set your own settings to make taking your pictures easily or you can do it on automatic. Good quality prints in sepia black and white and of course colour. A variety of battery options from rechargeable to replaceable both having good life. Some times if you do not wait a couple of seconds after taking a picture it can be blurred but with a bit of practice this is over come.
Very light weight and for a zoom ...
