more...Olympus presents the world's first 4-megapixel camera with a 10x optical zoom. As befits a camera of this stature, it is protected by a full-metal casing. It provides a host of automatic modes plus manual options to allow effortless operation and creative control. Images are saved on the xD-Picture Card memory media. This camera delivers 10x optical zoom performance in the smallest and lightest Ultra Zoom body yet. As such, it is a particularly welcome companion on nature hikes and at sporting events, taking the photographer to the heart of the scene. The optical zoom range, which is equivalent to 38 - 380mm on a 35mm camera, can be extended even further when combined with the digital zoom. On the C-750 Ultra Zoom, a 4x digital zoom provides up to 40x magnification (equivalent to 1520mm). This model also let the photographer shoot from just 3cm away to create fascinating macro photos. The very bright (f2.8 - 3.7), high quality optical system comprises eleven elements arranged in seven groups and includes two aspherical lenses plus an ED element, which is normally only found in pro-level SLR cameras and significantly help reduce chromatic aberration. High resolution capture and ease of use for stunning results Since this model records 4 million pixels, users can expect great quality prints - even in larger sizes. The pixel mapping function automatically calibrates the CCD chip and processor to help produce even sharper contrast, brighter colors and fewer image errors, and the TruePic technology further optimizes sharpness, contrast, color purity and gradation. A range of metering systems handles all the details to guarantee pictures have the clarity and color to really impress. Besides iESP, spot and AF area autofocus, the user may use digital ESP, spot or multi-spot exposure metering. A histogram displays brightness distribution of both captured and live images in a graphic form to allow the exposure to be checked. The cameras' scene programs (portrait, self-portrait, night scene, sports, landscape and landscape plus portrait) are ideal for when there's little time to adjust the settings manually. However, aperture priority and shutter priority as well as full manual control of the aperture and shutter speed are possible when there's more time for creative expression. The intelligent automatic white balance metering system assures realistic color reproduction. Pre-set white balance settings for daylight, overcast and tungsten light conditions and three options for fluorescent light are available, as well as one-touch white balance. Five flash modes are included for shooting in darkness or low light. The C-750 Ultra Zoom also incorporates a hot shoe for connecting external flash units (such as the Olympus CAMEDIA FL-40 and FL-20). When taking shots with long exposure times, the noise reduction function helps to enhance the brightness and clarity of the results. Favorite configurations can be saved in the 'My Mode' folders. Information about the selected settings is shown in the cameras' electronic viewfinder while shooting. The menu is very easy to use and available in four languages. Panorama shooting, black and white plus sepia modes are included and movies may be recorded. Furthermore, sequence shooting is also possible. Up to 12 exposures can be taken in normal sequence mode at a rate of 2.6 frames per second in HQ mode. The C-750 Ultra Zoom additionally enables sound to be recorded to images. The CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom supports the new EXIF 2.2 standard as well as PIM II, enabling compatible printers to apply the saved data to produce optimized results. With the USB AutoConnect interface, images are quickly and easily downloaded to a computer. Thanks to the Olympus CAMEDIA Master software that comes with the camera, the user is able to process, edit and archive the photos.

A good all rounder - if you know how to use it
Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom by DaveHarden

Advantages: Superb exposure and macro performance
Disadvantages: Distant detail "soft", Noisy above ISO100

...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 ... Read review

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom by mwl1

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 of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom by beejay_1949

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 - ... Read review

Zoom Zoom Zoom!
Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom by Londant

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 ... Read review

More than your average compact...
Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom by PhilThePenguin

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 ... Read review

small lightweight camera
Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom by clarke14

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). ... Read review

good quality light weight digital camera
Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom by whippet3

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 ... Read review
