It was a contender when I bought my Canon S1. I chose the canon because it uses CF cards, the noise wasn't as bad, the colors seemed better and the fold out screen. The c765 is still a great camera if you already have their memory cards. I think I liked the C750 better then the c765 for some reason, and it came with a remote.

I have been using the C-750 for almost a year. It is a great camera. Lots of manual settings to play with.

Strengths:
picture quality
easy to use
Did I mention the 10x zoom
battery life is good, but not great
takes good night shots

Weaknesses:
poor low light focusing
lots of noise at high ISO settings
shutter lag

over all it is a great camera if you can live with its shortcomings.

Hi,

Has anybody been using the olympus c-765? I am interested in it cuz it is 4mp and 10x optical zoom. Going price is low 300's. Would anyone recommend something else with those characteristics?

Kodak DX-6490...absolutely...same price range, same 10x zoom, 4.2mp, and absolutely wonderful for a point and shoot. I adore mine! :o)

I had the C-720. Great zoom. Horrible optics. Sucked at focus in any type of medium-low light. Crap macro. Otherwise a solid camera. ;)

Hi Steve,
Can't vouch for the camera personally, but you can see members' pictures here on the site that use the 765:
Olympus C-765UZ

and the users of that camera are:
(clicking on the 22 on the first link above)
C-765UZ Owners

DPC has all this in it's database and any camera used/listed can be found:

Hope this helps.
