Love that powerful optical zoom, and combined with the digital zoom is amazing!

"Very Low light" focusing is troublesome.


General Comments

Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom - I got a 1Gb card and a couple of spare batteries so I can take the camera on vacations and not have to worry about looking for more cards/batteries. Seems odd to be changing batteries instead of film! The card can hold 1000 pictures or almost an hour of OK quality video, or a mix of the two. On the lower settings I could take 10,000 pictures or 3 hours of video. Even on the lower quality setting, the pictures are still good enough to send nice pictures over the internet.

The lens seems loose in the barrel, but doesn't affect picture quality. Even with the max optical/digital zoom, the camera takes sharp pics on a sunny day. A fast shutter speed will take the pic before any camera shake is noticeable.

In low light, I found I was getting more "camera shake" in the pictures. I like the option of being able to use the flash or not though. Some lighting just looks better as all natural. A small tripod could have helped...

The batteries last amazingly well. (easily take 100 pictures) If you delete/review the pictures on the camera, they will die down faster.

There is just so much packed into this little unit. Be sure and get a demo of how the camera works, and all it can do. You will be impressed!
