I bought the Olympus C 740 3 weeks ago in Amazon. She takes pictures in outstanding quality. In both the Auto setting, as well as with the various manual options. Even in low light conditions can shine the lens. Macro shots in brilliant sharpness. A good panoramic function. Even the flash is powerful. What is missing, and therefore only 4 stars, is a filter thread and batteries. It must be purchased separately. An adapter -CLA4- and the required filter. However, even without filter, even at the lake with high solar reflection, beautiful images. Good! - Go with a 128 MB card 165 pictures on the card. Enough for the holidays. You simply fun.
