If you're looking for a great digital camera for a great price, get the Olympus C-720. Like most of you, I'm not a professional photographer, but in the first week I was able to take what I consider to be some very nice shots. See some samples at...

Pros: GREAT pictures for only 3 megapixels, and great value!
Cons: Needs a lot of light for best pictures; a bit of shutter lag.

This camera is a great starting point for interest in photography. It's for people who want to learn to take great pictures and do more than just point-and-shoot. First off, it has a great owner's manual that I recommend you read from cover to cover. ...

Pros: exceptionally fast shutter speed, powerful, clear 8X optical zoom & long life lithium battery
Cons: digital zoom is worthless (surprise!)

A long time ago, Mickey told Rocky "Speed, speed, speed is what we need!"

He wasn't kidding. And when it comes to capturing your sports memories with a digital camera, shutter speed has definitely got to be at the top of the priority list....

Pros: Zoom, ease of use, zoom, digital eyepiece, did I mention zoom?
Cons: Touchy, slow focus, no a/c adapter, no movie sound, no autofocus

This was my first venture into digital cameras. I had used a few others before, but never bought one of my own.

The primary reason for getting the C720 was its great zoom. I love being able to take candid shots and having a nice zoom helps you...

Pros: Best optical zoom for the price. Quality camera/lens. Easy to use on auto mode.
Cons: Didn't work well for taking pictures of my wiggly baby. Confusing to use at first.

I looked all over the web for reviews and prices for a good digital camera. A local electronics store recommended an Olympus because they have a high quality lens without getting really pricey. The best part of this camera is the 8x optical zoom. Digital...

Pros: It takes pictures
Cons: The picture quality is fair

My husband purchased this camera when we had our daughter. I would've perfered a smaller model. I am not a photographer so a 35mm camera is perfect for me. I do like that it can take short videos, that you can zoom, you can review your pictures on the ...

Pros: clear pictures, ease of viewing, great for a first time digital camera owner
Cons: moving photos are harder to take, no manual focus

This digital camera is the first digital camera I have ever owned. I was missing out big time. The Olympus C-720 is easy to transport, takes pictures with great quality, and is easy to use. For the most part I barely had to read the instructions to...

Pros: zoom lens
Cons: Technical problems from the start

I did extensive research before purchasing this camera and ultimately chose it because of the zoom lens. It took me awhile to get used to using a digital camera, but once I did, I was really enjoying it. About a month after buying the camera, suddenly...

Cons: Terrible auto-focus; Red-eye problems

I bought the Olympus C-720 about six months ago, and I was happy with it until I got the Olympus C-4040Z and realized that the C-720 wasn't such a great camera. Although it has a very impressive eight times optical zoom, there are some basic problems...

Pros: Nice zoom function, good battery life
Cons: Slow focus, poor focus doesn't match resolution, lens hood in the way.

At first I thought it might just be the way I was using this camera but I have run through a couple ...

Pros: Small easy to use sets up in Seconds
Cons: Don't like the lens cover but its the best one that ever stayed on.

This is not what your thinking right now as this God is in alot, I mean alot of hands. Olympus is a well know professional camera company so picture comes first here. Its great when you can zoom and you just wait for it to internally automatically focus. ...

Pros: Zoom, settings, great battery life
Cons: Slow-focus and shutter, light-hog, flash.

This camera is not for everyone. It's not for point-and-shoot people. It's not for those looking for a webcam or a digital camera/video camera 2-in-one. This camera is for real photography enthusiasts who know how to compose a picture, change the setti ...
