 Great little camera!!! February 10, 2007

Compact so it fits in you pocket, high tech enough to dance with it's bigger counterparts. This little camera does it all. I comparison shopped for several weeks comparing and contrasting multiple cameras from cannon, kodak, hp, sony, panasonic, and olympus, and none had features like this, a small size, and in this price range. The upgrades form the old 710 stylus is the dual image stabilization, for shake free photos. The old stylus only had digital stabilization. Zoom is 3x optical and 5x digital, which is lower than the stylus 740 and 750, but still has the dual stabilization.
7.1megapixels, Dual image stabilization (both digital and optical stabilization for shake free pictures new for the 750 and 760 models), 2.5 inch lcd viewing screen, and a low price what you get. OH, DID I MENTION EXCELLENT PICTURES. I have played with this for several days now editing the photos, paling with the on-board and the computer imaging package, and I see nothing wrong with this camera for an everyday average user like me. And with it's weather resistence, nice for a clumsy average user like me. Also the battery life is very adequate, about 120 photos or more, with slide shows, editing ect... This is well worth the investment, saving your families memories in a fit and proper manner.
Also, the Olympus Mastersoftware is very easy to use, And with panoramic feature, 3d, and Extra ART Features unlocked by Olympus Brand-Olympus Stamped Type H HD, this camera becomes even more of a pleasure to own. you can edit photos on the computer, or right in the palm of your hand. Both ways, this camera will make you feel like a pro in no time.
The DUAL image stabilizer DOES make a difference! March 18, 2007

I'm more of a DSLR guy (I have a Nikon D50 and D200) and I was looking for a simple point-and-shoot camera to bring along to simple occasions rather than lugging my DSLR around. I made the big mistake of buying an Olympus FE-230 which only had Digital Stabilization. Now, all the digital image stabilization did with that particular Olympus camera was boost the sensor's sensitivity and boost the ISO - which left some really really noisy/grainy pictures. I returned the FE-230 and took the 15% restocking fee penalty and exchanged it for the Olympus Stylus 760. Talk about night and day. The Dual Image Stabilizer made low light shots look terrific MINUS the noise. I would have to say that the stabilizer is not perfect (in my experience, Canon has the best Image Stabilizer for a point-and-shoot camera that I've used - the drawback is that Canon is EXPENSIVE) - but I'd rather have Olympus's Dual Image Stabilizer rather than just the typical Digital Image Stabilizer on most of Olympus's line of point-and-shoot cameras. The colors I've taken with the 760 are moderately saturated and are moderately sharp. Nothing but a few post processing magic can fix of course. If you're going to buy an Olympus point-and-shoot camera, make sure you pay the extra $$$ for the Dual Image Stabilizer NOT the Digital Image Stabilizer - it DOES make a difference in photo quality! Definitely worth the money I paid for it!

This is a great camera. I previously purchased an Olympus Stylus 720SW, which is the waterproof/shockproof camera. While it was extremely durable, it took horrible pictures. My main problem with it was the "image stablization" feature... if you DIDN'T use it, your pictures would turn out blurry due to camera shake... if you DID use it, your pictures would turn out blurry due to changing the ISO. Everything changed with this camera, however...
It has DUAL image stablization, so blurry/grainy pictures don't happen. This camera also has "Scene" selections, so you can pick which scene works best for your moment, whether it's candlelight, indoor, outdoor, etc. (ironically, it also has an "underwater" feature similar to the 720SW, and while it is water resistant in rain, it is definitely NOT submersable). The reason I have to rave about this camera is it has an incredibly handy feature called "Guide", which as th name implies essentially guides you through options in order to take the best picture. Shooting against backlight and don't know what to do? No problem, it recommends setting the fill-in flash, and by recommend I mean sets does it for you. A great camera for those that don't like to think too hard about taking a picture... let the camera do all the thinking! This camera is incredibly user friendly. I couldn't be more pleased with it.

This is the fifth Olympus camera that I have owned over the past 25 years from film to the evolution of digital. I have always been more than satisfied with Olympus quality and this camera is no exception. We still own a C-740 Ultra Zoom which has taken GREAT pictures for us on our trips to Nat'l Parks out west. I wanted this one for the size convenience, the MP's and the video feature to take backpacking with us. Pictures have been great, as expected and the video is fun to play with especially if you have Apples iDVD or iMovie to create with! Camera is very user friendly and the Olympus Master 2 software for photos is nice. Screen gets a little difficult to see in bright light situations but can be worked with ( I would recommend getting an Invisible Shield for the screen to protect it). Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a small camera !

Olympus Stylus 760 7.1MP Digital Camera with Dual Image Stabilized 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)I hate this camera. I had a Canon PowerShot before this that was infinitely easier to use and took significantly better pictures using just the default settings. First, pictures with this camera are either blurry or grainy or both. I have tried changing the ISO speed, using the stabilization feature, changing the white balance, everything. More often than not, my pictures come out bad. I never had this problem with the PowerShot. Second, when using the movie function, the movie is horribly grainy if you don't have very, very bright lighting. Shooting in a darkened theatre used to be easy with the PowerShot, not so with the Olympus. Too grainy and dark to be of any use. Finally, no matter what setting I use--programs, manual white balance, auto shoot--my pictures are too bright. I hate this thing. I'm buying a PowerShot and giving this one to someone I don't like.
