The good: Decent image quality; comfortable design.
The bad: Few manual controls; sluggish performance.
The bottom line: It's a bit slow, and control freaks will be disappointed, but the Olympus Stylus 740 is still a very nice snapshot camera.

CNET editors' review
- Reviewed on: 10/06/2006
Both cameras performed nearly identically in our lab tests, save for one quirk: the Stylus 740 is slightly faster than the 750 in shot-to-shot time when the onboard flash is enabled. The 740 registered a 3.3-second flash recycle time, while the 750 took 4.5 seconds to accomplish that feat. Image quality between the two cameras was also similar; both produced very attractive photos with little distortion.
For more information on the Olympus Stylus 740's design, features, and other details, please read our review of the Olympus Stylus 750.
