Top Olympus Stylus 760 Camera Reviews
Trusted Reviews wrote a review on the
Olympus Stylus 760 and said: "Since the mju 760 has the same
sensor and image processor as the mju 780, it's no great
surprise that the image quality is almost identical. It suffers
to some extent from the usual small-sensor problems of limited
dynamic range and colour depth, and does have some image noise
issues, but overall the image quality isn't at all bad. There
are no colour adjustments on the menu, but the automatic setting
is nice and neutral, with very natural colour reproduction."
Olympus Stylus 760 News Release Summary:
Two Great Anti-Blur Technologies Come Together in All-Weather
Compact Digital Camera for Superior Images in Darkness and Light
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., January 25, 2007 – Olympus introduces the
sleek Stylus 760, a digital camera that expands on the Stylus
line's reputation for ergonomic design, high-performance and
All-Weather durability with pioneering technologies that enable
users to capture sharp, blur-free images in a variety of active
shooting situations:
1. Dual Image Stabilization combines the benefits
of mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image
Stabilization to ensure the clearest pictures possible in any
situation - whether you or your subject are moving.
2. Great versatility and durability: All-Weather
durability and Bright Capture Technology make this the anytime,
anywhere compact digital camera - enabling great photos to be
captured in any weather or lighting situation.
3. LCD Backlight Boost Button combined with
2.5-inch Wide-View LCD improves usability for composing and
sharing photos. The Boost Button increases brightness of the LCD
- great for previewing and playing back images in sunny
situations. The Wide-View enables images to be viewed on the LCD
from any angle up to 140 degrees — ideal for showing images to
large groups and composing photographs from hard to reach
angles.
"The new Stylus 760 digital camera demonstrates Olympus'
commitment to style, innovation and quality photography," said
Tomoko Matsunaga, product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc.
"It appeals to stylish, sophisticated consumers who are looking
for a compact digital camera with advanced technologies, such as
Dual Image Stabilization, for superior image quality and an
All-Weather metal body for durability and convenience."
Dual Image Stabilization
Dual Image Stabilization technology is the two-in-one anti-blur
solution. It enables users to take crisp, clear pictures in
virtually any shooting situation — adjusting for camera shake or
a moving subject. Olympus' Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization
keeps images sharp by adjusting the CCD image sensor to
compensate for camera movement, which often occurs in low-light
conditions when shutter speeds are slower. Digital Image
Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and
fast shutter speeds that prevent blurry images often caused by a
moving subject.
All-Weather Durability
Typically, moisture and photography are a bad combination,
limiting outdoor photography options when rain, snow or sleet is
involved. Stylus digital cameras are renowned for their ability
to withstand the elements. The Stylus 760 features a metal body
that is durable and lightweight with rubber gaskets throughout
the interior to help 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 a photographic opportunity is best captured
with ambient light (e.g., when trying to capture the softness
and warmth of a candlelit dinner or natural skin tones in
subdued lighting). Olympus' Bright Capture Technology makes it
possible to clearly compose and capture subjects on the LCD in
low light. Specific scene modes for high sensitivity settings
(up to ISO 2500) and rapid auto-focus enable even fast-action
photos to be captured with low levels of available light. Plus,
Bright Capture Movie lets you record the moments in the dark
even after the candles are blown out!
Large 2.5-Inch Wide-View LCD with Backlight Boost Button
The Stylus 760 boasts a large, high-resolution Wide-View LCD for
clear, high-contrast images. Images are viewable on the 2.5-inch
LCD from 140 degrees, so photos can be composed from a range of
angles and viewed by several people at once. The LCD Backlight
Boost Button allows users to change the brightness of the LCD so
they can preview and playback images even in direct sunlight.
7.1-Megapixel Image Sensor for Superior Image Quality
The 7.1-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the Stylus 760
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.
3x Optical Zoom in Ultra-slim Body Design
The Stylus 760 features a precision-crafted Olympus lens with 3x
optical zoom (equivalent to 37mm - 111mm, f3.4 - f5.7) to bring
the action three times closer, and then tucks away into a
pocketsize compact body.
TruePic TURBO™ for High-Speed Response
TruePic TURBOTM enables the Stylus 760 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 ensure a high-speed response so your camera is
always ready to take great pictures.
Pre-Set Shooting Modes Make It Easy to Capture Great Images
The Stylus 760 has 26 shooting modes, including several pre-set
scene modes such as Beach & Snow, Available Light Portrait and
Sunset. The cameras also feature an AVI Movie Mode, which
enables users to record VGA-quality videos with sound, limited
only by the size of the xD-Picture Card™.
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 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.
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.
Stylish, Ergonomic Body Design
The Stylus 760's body design is defined by high-performance,
durability and style. In addition to the All-Weather, metal body
construction that made the Stylus famous, the Stylus 760 is
available in four colors — black, silver, pink and light blue.
Underwater Photography
The Stylus 760's 2.5-inch LCD, compact body design and three
underwater scene modes make it the perfect camera to take
diving. The new PT-036 underwater housing is constructed of
transparent polycarbonate with safety-locked O-ring seals,
enabling the Stylus 760 to safely travel down to approximately
130 feet (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 Dual
Image Stabilization, divers can get crisp clear images
underwater.
OLYMPUS Master™ Software
OLYMPUS Master™ software provides the ultimate in digital
imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes
downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are
easily organized by folders or albums. And 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. Use the optional muvee™ Theater Pack to create
professional quality slide shows and DVDs from your pictures
using any of several built-in templates.
Olympus Premium Carrying Cases
Olympus offers premium cases for Stylus cameras, including the
Stylus 760. The stylish cases are available in six colors — such
as chocolate suede and red leather.

The Stylus 760 will be available in February 2007. The camera
ships with: a wrist strap, WIN/Mac USB cable, audio/video cable,
LI-42B Li-Ion rechargeable battery and charger, instruction
