Building on the success of the C-730 Ultra Zoom, the new C-750 Ultra Zoom features a redesigned body that is smaller and lighter than the current model, plus an increase in mega pixels. Combined with the introduction of a large 1.8" display this means capturing your digital moments is even easier.
The 10x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom give users a massive 40x magnification
zooming you in to any subject with ease. The C-750 Ultra Zoom is the first Olympus Ultra Zoom to have a metal body for maximum durability.
The C-750 Ultra Zoom is also the first Olympus Ultra Zoom digital camera with a built-in hot-shoe that allows an external flash to be connected without cables so photographers can add more functionality to the camera and ensure the best lighting conditions.
The C-750 Ultra Zoom's advanced settings include controls for aperture priority, shutter priority, and full manual operation and are ideal for experienced photographers who want to take control.

Customer Reviews

Orville Harris,
from NB, Canada, Jun 27, 2003

I currently work at a camera store in NB, Canada and have been waiting for this camera to arrive. Well I took the plunge and I am very happy with my purchase. This camera is loaded with great features you will find on Pro cameras but is very user friendly even for the beginner. The camera has an excellent zoom lens and such a lens for a 35mm would cost LOTS more than the camera (if you could purchase one). I love the wireless remote especially when using a tripod. I would HIGHLY recommend the Olympus to anybody who wants the best bang for his hard earned dollars.

The Lowest Price is not always best !
When you buy a digital camera, the basic package almost always includes
extras such as a battery charger, lens cap, batteries, flash memory card, and software.
One of the more disreputable practices a dealer can engage in is called unbundling. These
dealers remove items from the package that are normally included in the price and
price them separately.
When purchasing
a camera you have three components of the price to consider - the camera price, postage and
handling, and taxes. Many dealers lower the price to make the camera more attractive, then
increase the postage and handling to boost their profits.
Hesitate before
accepting extended warranties. Every knowledgeable consumer expert says it's better to
gamble. Most of a company's profit is in the sale of these warranties so they press, and
press hard. Your job is to resist, and resist hard. The only thing to keep in mind is that
digital cameras can be horribly expensive to repair. If you want peace of mind, you may
want the warranty, even though it's probably overpriced. The cost of a repair can
approach, or even exceed, the original purchase price.
When you buy a
camera from a reputable dealer, you expect to be able to return it if you aren't
satisfied. Some dealers try to discourage this by requiring a restocking fee for returned
merchandise. This is always explained as a way to recover their costs of checking the
merchandise and restoring the packaging you may have opened.
Many dealers is
truly a false, deceptive and a total crook. Bait and switch tactics used. Does not sell
new merchandise and will ship used or refurbished goods without notifying customer. They then
try to charge a restock fee on top of their exobitant shipping fees to make a profit where
they could not on their goods. A try case of buyer beware.
