Description: Model ID N1285092 / Olympus CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom - Digital camera - 4.0 Mpix - optical zoom: 10 x - supported memory: xD-Picture Card, ... more
Olympus Camedia C-750 Ultra Zoom ... xD Type H, xD Type M / Incorporating 10x zoom performance in a compact body, the latest Olympus Ultra Zoom digital camera allows extremely versatile and comfortable shooting. With the C-750 Ultra Zoom, 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.

Newest Review: ... to offer the rich-man-poor-man option of "professional L series lenses" (out of any one's price range) and ... more

 ... "consumer lenses" (cheap and nasty). Olympus simply gave quality products without any discrimination and to this day, any of their 25 year old Zuiko lenses would easily match one of Canon's image stabilised L series electronic marvels for image quality. My only regret is that I used Canon EOS cameras for 12 years before I discovered 1970's olympus cameras! Anyway, back to the C-750. I went for the C-750 as it seemed to get good reviews ...more

Premium Review Olympus Camedia C-750 Ultra Zoom: Its an Olympus! (408 words)

I waited and waited...and held out to the digital revolution for as long as I could. Having been a 35mm SLR user for 16 years, I wasn't in any rush to go out and spend a small fortune on a digital compact! but alas...I did some homework and decided the digital imaging technology could no longer be ignored. after some months of agonising, I plumped for the olympus C-750 (but could just as well have gone for the panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ10). I have used Olympus cameras in recent years - OM10, OM20, OM4, Trip-35 etc. Canon have been so keen to ...
