Olympus Camedia C-740 Ultra Zoom

Pros: 10x zoom is great

Cons: Slow. No hot shoe

Summary: I have had my olympus 740 for a while. I wanted the c750 but it was not out yet Since my c3000 broke and needed something quick. I've taken a lot of great landscape pictures with this camera. Its compact size it great for taking on trips. I do not think it good for taking pictures of anything moving. It was almost impossible to take a pictures of a kid swinging and capture at the highest point. Last fall I went up north to capture fall colors. I took my 35mm and my c740 with me. I took most of my pictures using digital. When I found a good composure I took both. Afterword when I compared I felt the digital did a better job with using the zoom. I was also able to capture the hole bridge with the c740. The 35mm cut it off parts with the standard lense when I was standing in the same place. Picture quality is good for a 3 meg but I am interested in something better now.
