Olympus CAMEDIA C 765 Ultra Zoom > Reviews

Advantages: Picture quality, zoom range, well built
Disadvantages: No remote control, no flash hotshoe,small supplied memory card.

I have owned this, my first digital camera, for around three weeks, and am very highly pleased with it. Considering the massive zoom range the camera is nicely compact, yet has a rugged sturdy feel to it. Hard copy basic instructions are included in the box, but detailed instructions are in PDF file format on the installation CD. Although these are around 250 pages long I decided to print them out and comb-bind them, a decision I have not regretted. I ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, fantastic picture quality
Disadvantages: Bulky to carry around

I have had the Olympus C-765 camera for just over a year. I find it very easy to use with a good amount of features. This model has the ultra zoom and also a digital zoom. I travel alot and this camera takes some amazing quality pictures. I find it useful for taking pictures of wildlife, as you can zoom in from quite a distance and get superb quality in the picture. This camera has 10 x zoom and 40 x Seamless zoom. It is a 4 megapixel camera. The ... Read review

Advantages: impressive zoom
Disadvantages: slow response

I had used this camera, aswell as many other digitals, before and found it very easy and very satisfying! I am merely an amature when it comes to cameras but found that with the camera's powerful zoom chunky size i could zoom in and get 'natural' pictures of people, who did realise they were being pictured! Rather than some pavorazzi stunt this technique merely gives better photos, as anyone who realises there is a camera there subconsciously changes ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent image quality, good zoom range, compact, versatile
Disadvantages: Can be slow to focuss at long zoom range, needs a wider lens

I have had this camera for over 2 years now and it is as I am looking to upgrade that I have realised just how good it is. The lens is superb. It does get a bit of purple fringing in extreme situations but it is still better than a lot of the more modern competition. Mine has suffered occasional (and accidental) rough treatment from time to time. I even have a crack in the frame around the edge of the view finder but it hasn't stopped it working at ...

Advantages: Very handy and cheap camera with a variety of functions
Disadvantages: Quite large and bulky

...find your particular problem. The olympus website also offers pdf versions of the manual. The camera comes with a 32mb xd memory card, but for any serious photographer will need a much larger one. A 128mb card suits me with up to 130 high quality photos and 6 minutes of video. The price of the camera is very good for a 4 megapixel. I bought mine for just under £200 and I notice now that it is quite a bit lower than that. Well worth the price. ... Read review

Advantages: Optical Zoom, easy menu, complete functions
Disadvantages: Slow on Sport and price of memory

If you like zooming and zooming and zooming even more, you will like this one. An optical zoom of 10x plus a digital zoom of 4x makes this camera ideal to use in any situations. The quality of pictures is astonishing and the use of it very simple. I didn't like taking pictures but now I just can't stop it. It is so easy to use in the Auto mode or very detailed in all other mode. You can choose the shutter speed, the aperture, Black&White or colored, ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant Zoom
Disadvantages: Needs lot adjustments, colour & clarity not good, dark pictures even with flash

I am quiet dissapointed after taking this camera but cannot help it. My 3.2 Megapixel camera was better than this one. I've researched on this quiet a lot & compared the pictures with other camera but the results are bad indeed. Apart from other things, the pictures always are blurred & always in the digitised form. (I didn't know how to express, that means composed of tiny small squares...;) sorry for that term!!) Its difficult to use also. First ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Camera! Great software for PC
Disadvantages: Too many features, long familiarty time required

...found lacking… Then I discovered the Olympus C 765! Perfect for enthusiast and pro alike! THE CAMERA Olympus has excellent lenses and this is no exception, 10x Optical Zoom (excellent for close up shot details and distance). 4.0 mega pixels (essentially the amount of detail a shot can capture). 2Inch, real-time color display (just perfect to review shots). Quick Keys (helps you navigate the options quickly and easily). Battery ... Read review

Advantages: close ups,great zoom
