you cant get better at this price!!

(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 15, 2003
The C750 UZ is the bet off all digital cameras within this price range, if you want a camera with a really serious zoom lens look no further. Comes complete with everything you need except a case!!! Why? I dont know. I take a huge nubers of photos with this camera on a tripod (youll need it for the extreme zoom). The results are out of this world. The camera is easy to use, I would advise buying a bigger XD card at least 128MB. but with both items bought for around £400 and a wait, you have a bargain and one of the best didgis around.

C-750UZ - The Only Choice !!

(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Aug 14, 2003
There's not much out there than can compete with the Camedia UZ range if you're looking for high optical zooming capability - but Olympus haven't abused this near monopoly and have created an excellect product.

Benefits

Suberb lens & zooming qualities
Overall picture quality & number of definition settings
Versatility
Value for money
Range of features

Drawbacks
Too many features / menus - if you're not a techie
Movie mode is poor
Not as solidly built as one would expect from Olympus

Conclusion
A great camera for the enthusiast

Great camera, excellent choice

(5 out of 5) by Steve on Mar 27, 2004 (Basingstoke, United Kingdom)
As a keen 35mm user this was my first digital camera and now I wish I'd converted to digital sooner..
The C750 is easy to use straight out of the box but it has loads of extra features to play with. The build quality of the camera is very good and the picture quality is excellent too.
I have bought a 128mb xD card and a spare set of rechargeable batteries to make sure I don't miss any photos.
The only downside I could find with this camera is the shutter delay - it is a bit slow. This takes a bit of getting used to after having used a 35mm camera and as a result I have missed a few action shots and even close ups when the subject has moved. I think that will take a bit of getting used to. In all other respects it is an excellent choice.

Excellent camera but be prepared to wait

(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 1, 2003
This is an excellent camera. There is nothing else to compete in the class at close to this pricepoint.

However, do not expect to receive this camera any time soon. This camera is in very short supply through all suppliers. I have had an active order for this camera through Amazon since 12 August 2003. The latest estimated dispatch date is now mid-October, for my order placed two months before this. The "Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 weeks" is misleading at the moment: this is not a usual situation. The delays are with Olympus supplying product, but be prepared to be patient...

Impressive piece of gear I'm sure, but amazon.co.uk is a jok

(1 out of 5) by Dr. Oliver Whyte on Oct 1, 2003 (Ireland)
I ordered my Olympus C750 at the end of August and every 2 weeks since then I have been shunted 2 weeks further forward - current estimated date of delivery: November 12th.
But at least they did send the 64Mb xD card, which without the camera is very useful for extinguishing cigarette butts - if only I smoked.
If I ever do get the camera, it does look very impressive.
But at the moment I am absolutely raging with amazon.co.uk
