Does anyone have this camera?

I am looking at getting this camera: Olympus Camedia C-765 4MP Ultra Zoom Digital. Does anyone have it or know anything about the quality? tia!

I have the Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 MP 10x optical zoom, 3 x digital zoom.

I love it and it takes great pics and even movies ...without sound. Don't know what the differences are in the model numbers but I love mine!

Hope that helps! In fact, all the layouts in my gallery were taken with that camera. It has a USB cable that hooks to the camera and the computer and you turn it on and the pics download very easliy.

I do buy the special batteries (can't remember the name right now) that cost about $17.99 at Target. Lithium? They last 3-4 months instead of 2-3 weeks like AA.

I have a friend who has this camera and she loves her. The picts that it takes are incredible. In fact, I am looking at maybe getting one myself.

i was doing a price comparison and this camera kept coming up as good quality. I may buy it as my next camera. I already have an Olympus and have been happy with it, I just want that optical zoom and the digital zoom add-ons.

If you'd like side by side comparsion with other digital cameras go to dpreview.com great site and they have forum broke down by makers (Fuji, Cannon, etc.) this might help you out as well. the forums on there are great...you get the pros and cons of all makes and models..hope this will help

We have an Olympus Camedia D-540 zoom, not exactly what you have, but I can tell you we LOVE it. It makes taking nice pictures a lot easier. Most of the recent pictures in my gallery were taken with that camera. HTH.

I have had only the best luck with My Olympus cameras. Check out the reviews on photographyreview dot com for specifics on this model.

I have an Olympus D550 and love it! I'm not thrilled with the digital zoom (pictures are too grainy) but I've been very, very happy with it.

Hi,

I actually did alot of comparison on the sites mentioned above and this is the camera I got. I got a great price off amazondotcom,and decided to go for it!And I am so glad I did! I have gotten some great pics very clear and enlargements with this camera. I did buy the extra memory card to hold more pics cuz the one it comes with only takes like 16-36 depending on quality choosen. Most site say they need an extra battery but mine lasts really well and charges back up really fast. I really like that the flash is not automatic, you have to pop it up. The only thing is that sometime it is to slow to take very fast action and if you subject jumps or moves mid shot it will blurr just them. And when the zoom is maxed out it can make a blurry pic, just not always. Some of this could be user error. If I had to choose it agian I would still buy it. Unless Iwanted to spend 1000bucks and then Iwould get the pro. cannon.

If there is amything specific you wanna know just pm me!

i have that exact model! i bought it direct from olympus on ebay - where they sell their factory refurbished models. i've had it for about a year, so when i got it i got it for a steal, but now the retail price is soooooooooo much lower!

i love mine. easy to use, though not particularly purse-sized, which is the one downfall as i like taking my camera everywhere with me. the zoom is excellent, as it the picture quality. even with the digital zoom, the images are good.

i don't have an extra battery and it works just fine. i've taken it for 3 day weekends on a fresh charge with no proble.

Thanks everyone! I'm so glad to hear what everyone thinks! I found a great deal on this particular camera too- half off for a refurbished model. So I think we'll go for it!

I did so much research on that camera...I was soooo close to buying it when I came across the one I have now...it had a little better zoom and a couple other good features. But the Olympus had good reviews and looks like a great camera. But I'm glad I got the one I did!

The site I always use to look at camera reviews is megapixel dot net. They seem to review just about every digital camera and they give TONS of info.
