Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom

...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 ...
...way you like. These are recalled by turning the control dial to "My mode" and choosing 1-4 from the menus. This allows you to have different settings for landscape, portraits etc. I use this feature extensively. Picture formats are TIFF and JPEG, with resolutions from VGA up to 4 Megapixel. TIFF files are 11Mb each, so make sure you have a large memory card rather than the pathetic 16Mb one it ships with (XD card). TIFF is the best for editing though ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom

...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 for rechargeables ...
...error sessions with borrowed equipment). Price varies enormously - much more than I expected - by as much as +50% on the cheapest. For this camera the price ranged from just under £300 to about £450... I used a number of comparison utilities available on the Internet (Ciao being among the best) to glean the cheapest price: some care is required because different vendors do offer different packages, so comparing apples with oranges is a risk. Having ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom

...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 - ...
...controls facilities. I chose the Olympus as it seemed to be able to carry out all the functions I wanted plus many many more. I also chose the Olympus as I was very pleased with my previous Olympus camera. Camera Features: - It has a metal body which tends to make it more rugged (the little doors on it to access the memory card and connection sockets for USB etc. are a silver coloured plastic). -10x zoom (38-380mm equivalent) - 1.5 inch LCD display ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom

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 ...
...and actually getting a feel for all the cameras you are considering. This dismissed many others. After this I continued my search by reading online reviews – easy to find and if you read enough you start to get a clear image of the products concerned. Finding a site that offered photos taken with all different cameras was a bonus too. With the choice made to purchase this camera – I feel the increased resolution made this worth the price increase ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom

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, ...
...the civilised world. At the same time though this has more features than a standard compact, and I have used it for much more artistic work. Here, the 10x optical zoom lens, flash shoe, remote control, macro mode and particularly the option to take some control over the aperture and shutter settings come into their own. The camera is not without its disadvantages, however. The powerful lens and solid build quality make it larger and heavier than ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom

...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). ...

Review of Olympus CAMEDIA C 750 Ultra Zoom

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 ...
