ReviewStrengths: the icons on the mode dial are easy to read and understand. I had never used a digital camera before, so I started by reading the manual, again well-written and understandable. Weakness: It's a bit heavy. This is my first digital camera, and I find it easy to use. The icons on the camera are almost self-explanatory, and the automatic focusing is perfect. The detail in the macro mode is astonishing, even when blown up to 8 X 10. I have not hooked up to my computer yet....I have to get more memory....but took it to school and used it there. Everything is good!

Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Great Quality, Name Brand, Cool Look, Powerful Zoom, Easy to use after after you get the hang of it, Fit for the novice and the experts, doesn't eat batteries like a monster Weakness: Non-Automatic covering lens cover, Big, Comes with only 16mb XD flash card, no audio movie recording, Has to focus before taking a picture, average manual The C-740 is a great camera. At 3.2 Megapixels, you can get big prints. The battery life of this camera is great and lasts for a very long time. It will fit everyone's needs. The price is worth its features. Get it! You will not regret it!

Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: 10 Optical zoom, uses AA batteries, decent quality photos, many "preset" options yet also many customizable features, can use either Smart Media or XD cards Weakness: Bulky, definitely not pocket-sized, difficult to make settings "stick," no image-stabilization thus you can't use the full 10x zoom without a tripod,software has some great features but a few bad ones On the whole, this is a great camera with a few drawbacks. It takes good pictures and does not require a PhD to use the basic features, yet many of them are user customizable. It uses standard AA batteries and if you use rechareable batteries you can get several hundred shots before they run out. The camera can use either Smart Media cards (cheap but not available in sizes over 128 mb), or the...

Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Fantasic optical zoom capability, lots of features like manual focus, aperature and shutter priority modes, excellent battery life. Weakness: Menu system takes a bit of getting used to. My wife and I were looking for an affordable digital camera that had the ease of a point and shoot, but provided the additional flexibility of 35mm SLR. We have been using a medium level Fuji 35mm SLR for years and wanted features like aperture priority, macro, and manual focus. This camera has it all plus! We could not find another digital camera that had all of the features that the Olympus...

Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Very nice camera and takes wonderful pictures. They are very clear, zoom is great Weakness: Printing out photos using Camedia software (included photo editor software from Olympus) , and e-mail tech support. If I could rate the camera separate from the included software I would give the camera a 5 and the software a -1, hence the 3 rating. The Camedia software that comes with the camera does not do borderless printing. If you wish to print out a 4x6 that fully uses the paper you will need to purchase someone else's photo editor. The Camedia software will print a 4 x 6 piece of photo paper at 4 x 5.33...

Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: What a wonderful, magical, machine the C-740 is. It is simplistic; but with the capability of manually overriding the automatic controls and getting very special effects. Weakness: Only 1/4 of the 170 page manual that accompanies the camera is in English; the bulk of the instructions are on the CD. What a Shame. The vast majority of photos I plan to take will be in one of seven auto modes; much like a very exotic 'Point & Shoot'. The other options, such as 'Movies' do not interest me now. Being able to shoot many exposures in a second or two will come in handy; knowing that I will delete all but the best ones. I knew that I would have to buy more memory, backup batteries and a case.But sorry I had to...

Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Ultra Zoom, Very good picture quality, compact design, rich of usefull mode, good for normal as well as advance user. Good price tag. Using AA battery, and last longer than other digital camera. Weakness: Lag Time - to long. Improve the lag time can make this camera more fun. This camera is actually the best camera for the price tag. Buy this camera for value of your money, you will never disappointed with the picture quality, functionality and manual setting. I pay RM 1550, = USD 408. thank and happy taking picture...

Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Easy to use. Lightweight. Takes great pictures. . Weakness: Menu a little confusing. Always have trouble deleting pictures Taking closeups sometimes creates blurry pictures I bought mine on ebay for $285.00. It is a reconditioned camera with which I have had no problems. It takes great pictures and I would recommend it to others.

Olympus Camedia C-740 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Great 10x zoom, good pictures, AA batteries, lots of manual controls, lots of resolution settings. Weakness: Colors are slightly warm for my taste (but has good WB & saturation adjusting capabilities), trouble focusing in low lighting This is a very good camera that I think most beginners & many amateurs will be pleased with. I noticed some pictures seemed to have a lot of noise when viewed in actual size (at default resolution & ISO!). The colors in the pictures are not as vibrant as with the Canons. It's also too bad that there is no AF illuminator.

C-740 Ultra Zoom
In years past, digital-camera manufacturers seemed to take a summer vacation. But this year, that wasn't the case; they came out with more and more models every few weeks (or so it seemed). Here's a look at the wide range of cameras that debuted this summer. Top

Olympus Camedia C-740 UltraZoom
Digging out from under my digicam review backlog, I've just updated my review of the Olympus C-740 Ultra Zoom (3 megapixel, 10x optical zoom lens) to include results from a full-production model. (Stay tuned, we'll be posting a "gallery" of random images from it hopefully by the end of the week, to supplement the standardized test shots.) All in all, a nice camera, one of the best bargains in the... Top

Olympus Ultra Zoom C-740 Digital Camera
Strengths: 10 Optical Zoom
Weakness: Slow flash
The camera takes great, sharp pictures. The 10 optical zoom is fantastic. Flash pictures are not as good as hoped. I probably need to try more settings and experiment more with flash situations. It does not do well in low light situations such as Christmas pictures with Christmas tree lights.
