Average Rating: Rating: - Wow! This camera's quality of picture is terrific. The zoom is unbelievable. This is the first digital camera that we have owned, but not the first we have used. It's true you need to buy rechargable batteries, and I recommend the 128 Media card. With the 128Mb card, at high quality, you can take 161 pictures, and at standard quality over 900! The quality of picture is fantastic, did I mention that? This camera is well worth the price. One more thing, the camera bag for the Olympus C-series that pops up with this camera is too small for this model. Rating: - Great for distant outdoor shots in daylight This camera is a very good one for the price, although not for everyone. The menus are complex. Beginning digital photographers might be happier with a cheaper point and shoot camera with 3X optical zoom. People who take zoomed pictures in dimmed light might have a hard time holding the camera stationary to avoid blurring. However, I like the C-730. It can use both SmartMedia and xD cards so you can choose to go cheap with the SM cards now or get the slightly more expensive xD cards that will probably have much greater capacity in the future (I read that this format had a theoretical limit of 8 gigabytes). The camera has a number of programmed modes for moonlight shots, sports shots, portraits, landscapes, etc. It also has manual options on shutter speed and aperture settings. It takes quick-time movies with sound. It's also small enough to stick in a jacket pocket. There are two things that I wish the camera had: (1) a stablized lens like its predecessor, the C-2100UZ, and (2) an infrared focus light for taking pictures in dim light. However, most people just think about megapixels. Maybe Olympus thought a cheaper, non-stabilized lens had a bigger market. Rating: - I am impressed Because I have some expensive autofocus lenses, I have been waiting for the price of a digital camera body to get down low enough to justify buying. I finally decided that this is not going to happen so I made the plunge and got this camera. This is my first experience with digital cameras so I am not qualified do a rating. However, I do have experience with cameras and digital images scanned from prints. I am not easily impressed but I am very impressed with this camera. Within a few hours, I was taking pictures, displaying them on my TV, loading them onto my computer, editing and printing them. The instructions are a bit weak in the menu system but overall very good. A novice could use this camera but they would be paying for a ton of features not used. This thing will do everything but slice bread. If you like tuning knobs, you have plenty. The built in flash is amazing. Make sure you copy the manual from the CD. It has a lot of stuff not in the hard copy booklet. Because of the small size, weight and what you can do, I may not be using my SLR much anymore.
