When it came out in 2003 I paid big bucks for one and wondered it it would be worth it. Since then I've bought three more via internet and keep one with me all the time. The 4mp rating means little. I've made great enlargements of beautiful subjects with no problems. The lens surpasses the one on my highly rated SLR, which I never use anymore since the Olympus is so much easier to carry. Try to find another compact camera with a metal body and a viewfinder (with adjustable optic, no less). For features, construction and overall quality, I consider this the best camera I've ever owned.

I bought this camera new on eBay, many years ago and it remains a real trooper to this day. I researched a LOT of cameras (literally for weeks), before landing on this unit. The decision has NOT disappointed me at all. 4MP is low by today's standards but the picture quality and resolution at 4MP is quite sufficient for the needs of the average photographer. I specifically like the "thru the lens" focus feature, the dual optical AND digital zoom capability, and the ability to program and store your own camera settings for your most frequently used shooting environments. The camera's "beefy" metal frame puts all the various camera controls at your fingertips and the 4-AA batteries last a LONG time, even when shooting videos. This thing has more bells and whistles than I can possibly describe here; I feel certain the specs are available online. The downsides for me is the low storage capacity of 512MB per xD card, the sometimes slow shutter response when in 'auto' mode in low light, and the small screen on the back side. The memory issue is easily solved by buying more xD cards, which are relatively cheap today. Overall, this camera has proved to be one of my better choices over the years.Read full review
I bought a C-740 new in 2004 for $300 and was quite happy with it...until a recent liquid spill disabled it. I bought this C-750 to replace it. This model is almost identical with slightly better features. I have to say that this was probably the best deal I've ever gotten on anything! I was skeptical about the as-is disclaimer and lack of close-up photos, but it turned out to be in near perfect condition and included all accessories, documentation, a very nice case and even a very solid quality tripod. This purchase exceeded all of my expectations and I am quite happy with it.

Easy to hold, easy to use. Sharp optics, versatile zoom, nice controls and function buttons. A solid performer; much more than a point-and-shoot camera. Has same manual control features as much later cameras. At current 'used' prices, this is an outrageous bargain! Love it!

This is a good little camera and I bought it because I have an underwater housing that fits this camera. My previous one was no longer working and I wanted to replace it for taking photos while diving. It is a great land camera also and I know there are alot higher megapixel cameras out there but unless you are enlarging to poster size this one is fine.
