Top Olympus Stylus 750 Camera Reviews
Cnet wrote a review of the
Olympus Stylus 750
and said: "The Olympus Stylus 750 is a very strong
point-and-shoot camera, though its attractive images are
hindered by mediocre performance. It has no manual exposure
controls and isn't as responsive as we would like, but as a
general snapshot camera, it's still a very good choice. If you
want a Stylus but don't want to spend quite as much, the Olympus
Stylus 740 is nearly identical to the 750. The Stylus 740 lacks
image stabilization, and it performed a little bit quicker in
flash recycle time, but otherwise is the exact same camera as
the Stylus 750."
Olympus Stylus 750 News Release Summary:
5x Optical Zoom and CCD-Shift Image Stabilization are included
in Slim, Compact Design; also features a 7.1-Megapixel CCD,
All-Weather body and Bright Capture Technology
Center Valley, Pa, August 23, 2006 - Olympus continues to
innovate with the launch of the Stylus 750 digital camera, a
technically sophisticated point-and-shoot camera offering a
number of pioneering technologies such as Dual Image
Stabilization, Bright Capture Technology and TruePic TURBO™ as
well as a powerful 5x Optical Zoom that tucks away into a
streamlined metal, All-Weather body design. The camera is
distinguished by a number of premium features, including:
An advanced combination of the mechanical CCD-shift Image
Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization work together to
ensure the clearest pictures possible in any situation;
A 5x Optical Zoom lens with a newly developed lens element to
maintain a small compact size;
A 2.5-inch LCD and Bright Capture Technology dramatically
improve composition, capture and review of images in low-light
situations;
Olympus' exclusive TruePic TURBO™ Image Processing engine is
coupled with a 7.1-megapixel image sensor to produce crisp,
high-quality photos.
"Olympus continues to demonstrate the power of its innovative
technologies with the addition of the Stylus 750 to the Stylus
line of digital cameras," said Tomoko Matsunaga, product
manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "Appealing to the more
sophisticated point-and-shoot user, technologies such as Dual
Image Stabilization and Bright Capture Technology combine with
the power of a 5x optical zoom and the versatility of a thin,
durable, metal body to deliver superior image quality and
convenience."
5x Optical Zoom in Slim Body
Olympus incorporates new lens technology into the Stylus 750
that enables the 5x optical zoom lens (36mm - 180mm, f3.3 - f
5.0 equivalent in 35mm photography) to bring the action five
times closer in a less than 1-inch thick body - 3.8 inches wide
x 2.1 inches high x 0.96 inches deep. Olympus lenses are known
worldwide for producing sharp, vibrant, high-quality images.
This is achieved through a number of key technologies, such as
Olympus' high-refractive-index lens elements and newly developed
dual super aspherical lens elements.
Dual Image Stabilization
The Stylus 750 features an advanced combination of mechanical
CCD-shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization.
CCD-shift Image Stabilization uses built-in electro-gyro sensors
to record camera movement and adjust the CCD image sensor. This
ensures that light remains centered on the image sensor to
maintain image clarity despite a slight movement on the part of
the photographer. Digital Image Stabilization Mode boosts ISO
sensitivity and shutter speed so that images remain crisp and
clear - free from the blur caused by moving subjects. The
combination of the two Image Stabilization Technologies ensures
the best image clarity in virtually any shooting environment.
All-Weather Durability
Typically, water and photography are a bad combination, limiting
outdoor photography options when rain, snow or sleet are
involved. However, the compact, All-Weather Stylus 750 can go
virtually anywhere. The metal body construction is durable and
lightweight with rubber gaskets throughout the interior to
ensure that rain, dust and snow won't get in the way of great
photos.
Bright Capture Technology for Easy Low-Light Photography
There are times when you want to photograph subjects in low
light without having to use a flash, for example, when trying to
capture the softness and warmth of a candlelit dinner or natural
skin tones in subdued lighting. Olympus' revolutionary Bright
Capture Technology makes it possible to clearly compose subjects
on the LCD in low light. With specific scene modes for high
sensitivity settings (up to ISO 2500) and rapid auto-focus, even
fast-action photos can be captured under low levels of available
light. Plus, Bright Capture Movie lets you record the moments in
the dark even after the candles are blown out!
7.1-Megapixel Image Sensor for Superior Image Quality
The 7.1-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the Stylus 750
delivers high-quality images that are consistently sharp and
vivid even when printed in large-formats - up to poster sizes as
large as 16 x 20 inches.
Large 2.5-Inch LCD
With a bright 2.5-inch LCD, the Stylus 750 easily doubles as a
portable digital photo album. This high quality LCD makes it
easier to see images clearly both when shooting and sharing
photos with friends without having to download the images to a
computer.
TruePic TURBO™ for High-Speed Response
Olympus' exclusive TruePic TURBO™ Image Processor enhances image
quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds for rapid
start-up, shutter release and playback. TruePic TURBOTM enables
the Stylus 750 to capture information from all 7.1 million
pixels with pixel "micro-smoothing" that delivers clearer and
more color-accurate photos. The fast start-up of less than one
second and nearly instant shutter release time ensures a
high-speed response so your camera is always ready to take great
pictures.
27 Selectable Shooting Modes
With 23 pre-programmed scene modes, such as Beach & Snow,
Available Light Portrait, Sunset, and Under Water Macro, the
Stylus 750 makes it easy to capture beautiful images in a
variety of lighting and shooting situations. Plus, with
QuickTime® Movie Mode, the camera can also record VGA-quality
videos with sound, limited only by the size of the internal
memory or xD-Picture Card™ in the camera.
Built-In Help Guide
With the Help Guide function, each of the camera's features is
easily accessible even to novice users. By simply holding down
the Guide button on the back of the camera, users can access
brief descriptions of each of the camera's functions and scene
modes. An improved auto-set Shooting Guide provides users with
an explanation of which features to use in a given situation,
and then sets the camera automatically for the selected feature
in the Guide.
One-Touch EASY Print - No Computer Necessary!
The power of PictBridgeä technology enables your photos to be
printed directly from your camera to any PictBridge-enabled
printer without using a computer. The one-touch "Print" button
makes printing a single-step process. Printing and sharing
images has never been easier!
In-camera Editing
In-camera editing features such as red-eye fix, resizing,
frames, text options, color brightness and saturation
adjustments enable users to edit photos right in the camera.
Underwater Photography
The large 2.5-inch LCD, 5x Optical Zoom, compact body size and
three underwater scene modes make the Stylus 750 the perfect
camera to take along diving. The new PT-034 underwater housing
is constructed of transparent polycarbonate with safety-locked
o-ring seals, enabling the Stylus 750 to safely travel down to
40 meters below the surface. Large red grips, a responsive
shutter button and a precision zoom lever make it easy to
operate even through diving gloves. Plus, with Bright Capture
Technology, images can be easily previewed on the LCD even in
the darkest waters.
OLYMPUS Master™ Software
OLYMPUS Master™ Software provides the ultimate in digital
imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes
downloading images to a computer quick and simple; and images
are searchable by date or keyword in the Calendar View. Also,
with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye removal, images
can be touched up before printing or e-mailing. Online support,
templates, firmware upgrades and other user services are just a
mouse-click away.

The Stylus 750 will be available in September 2006. The camera
ships with: a wrist strap, WIN/Mac USB cable, audio/video cable,
LI-42B Li-Ion rechargeable battery and charger, instruction
manual, warranty card, and a CD-ROM with OLYMPUS Master
