Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom?

[manty62]

I have been doing some research on the Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom digital camera and was wondering what any owners think of this camera? Any information would be useful. Thanks.

After I thought I'd made up my mind on an Oly C-60, I saw the C-765 UZ & almost changed my mind. That 10x zoom sure sounds fun! The camera was a bit more $ than I wanted to spend, but it was the large protruding lens that made me hesitate. It was tempting, but I decided, for my use, I better stick with the protection of the sliding lens cover which the C-60 has.
The comments/reviews on the C-765 sounded quite good. The main question I guess all of us need to ask ourselves is, what do we realistically expect to use the camera for? ;)

No I don't own it - I have it's reletive - the C-740 which has lots in common. Meanwhile - my Wife's cousin does own a C-765, bought after seeing my C-740. We have compared. His has 4MP over my 3.2 His has a nicer larger screen. They have the same nice (there's that word again!!) lens.
If you want a compact camera with a good zoom it's a great choice (or even nice!)

But seems the web site it new, so I can't find any user reviews on the 765 .
