I wanted a digital camera that has an external flash connector and possibly covering a wide zoom range. Because it seemed to me the Olympus C-750 ideal. Unpacking: The package is very neat! As found in the colored box (of course the camera), strap, lens cap + Befestigungsschnürchen, 16MB xD-Picture Card, Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (4x 1700mAh) incl. Battery charger BU-60SE, IR remote control, USB cable, AV cable, manual, warranty card, software CD-Rom. First Contact: The C-750 is quite small and handy, despite the 10-fold zoom. It is comfortable to hold, in spite of the weight (incl. Batteries) about 400 g (equivalent to the weight of 4 music CD's). The case looks well made despite "material mix". Here metal and plastic was processed, which is not mentioned by Olympus. The arrangement of switches and buttons acts conceived and understood. Here, much explained by itself. The first time:.. Turning on the camera will be rewarded with an animated logo and a "jingle" When you select a subject you have to choose between the viewfinder or display the viewfinder is located on the far left and you look with the right eye by, stay a nose prints saves on the TFT, a good thing in my opinion! The viewfinder is average, the monitor on the other hand on the back good. Zooming itself goes on quickly, the autofocus is but dabble along denied the C-750, the change of the focal length. Only when the camera has the sharpness found the zoom lever exerts its function. The greatest weakness of the Camedia 750 is the poor autofocus. This is quite slow and at normal room lighting !!! the camera to focus the greatest difficulties. Here Olympus should urgently make improvements. Also the triggering takes a long time ... too long for my taste. Snapshots are almost unfeasible, unfortunately. The functions: The C-750 can hardly be desired. You can fast and easy way and choose using the dial above and select between different shooting modes. One has here the potential of the camera maxed it's on the menu, which is controlled via the display and the viewfinder on. This one has a few times well under control and is consequently quick and rightly so. The built-in flash must be lifted manually, lights exemplary and dosed very well, so that the results are impeccable. Although the distance between the flash and lens rather "large", but the "red-eye effect" occurs despite "pre-flash function" on. Here, only an external flash (connection with the C-750 available), add it! Hat Once you invest the money in an external flash, the red-eye effect. cinematics stay can also be included, limited here only the card, the recording time. The quality is modest and should simply be seen as a "gimmick". With the IR remote control you can zoom, trigger the camera and simply browse through the images when viewed on TV. The Software: The included software installs quickly and is easy to use, a manual is not needed. Should some games to be unclear, you have the PDF file use. However, If you want the entire functions of the software "Camedia Master 4.1" avail (rotate, save, etc.), Olympus asked for the update !!! money, not quite understandable for me. The connection: Simply the C-750 to connect with the included USB cable to the computer and installed XP automatically the driver. Shortly thereafter, you can load the images on the computer. The whole is amazingly fast. Of course is possible the transfer of images to the computer using the supplied software. Images: The images are - insofar as sharp - very good and balanced. Despite 10x zoom, the quality is impressive. Certainly one of the reasons of good image quality is the use of 2 ED lenses and the electronics completes the whole thing off. Close and Super Macro are also of the highest quality. In conclusion: You should definitely upgrade the memory, as pretty at 4 million pixels need is there. Even 1 or 2 additional packs of 4 batteries are recommended, as the camera already like will be supplied with electricity. Conclusion: Very good approach, just not very mature!
