Olympus 740 Stylus Review

Whether you love the great out doors or finding yourself in all sorts of environments from snow and rain, maybe you just like snapping pictures of family and friends or are a tourist out to capture your best memories of the places you have been to take back home, the Olympus 740 Stylus camera is one of your best bets in great, high quality photos almost anywhere and anytime.

 

Being that I am a true photography buff, what attracted me to this camera was it’s wonderful combination of compact physical design and abundant features… all without overload of complexity. The built in “auto” modes make so I can simply point and click for true pro level photos without ever thinking about it.But for those times I want to get down and tinker with settings, the Olympus 740 Stylus camera delivers exactly what I want.

 

Here’s a big list of what the Stylus 740 has to offer:

 

? Bright Capture Technology for Easy Low-Light Photography

 

? Built in Help Guide – for those rare times it’s needed.

 

? A massive 7.1-megapixels that can produce photo-quality 15 x 20-inch prints

 

? 27 selectable “auto” modes for great shots in every environment

 

? 5x optical zoom for getting up close when you’re no

 

? Bright Capture Technology for Easy Low-Light Photography

 

? And a large, bright 2.5-inch LCD display for easy viewing

 

? TruePic Turbo Image Processor for amazing colors

 

? Camera Color options of Blue or Silver

 

? Long lasting Li-Ion battery battery (charger included)

 

? Very compact (3.8 x 2.1 x 0.96 inches) to easily fit in a shirt pocket

 

? All weather rugged constructions to protect against the elements

 

? Swappable xD Picture Cards for unlimited storage

 

? Optional underwater housing for those who love to dive

 

 

 

Beyond the list of feature, every one geared towards making the Olympus 740 Stylus stand out as the best in its class… this little camera is simply “sexy” in my opinion.When people see it the often want to look at it and check it out, to hold it and try it.

 

My only complaint would be that the LCD view screen sometimes washes out in very bright light.But a little shading fixes it.All in all a minor inconvenience.

 

Whether you want a great camera for simply point and click, or you lean towards the professional looking for a casual take along you can whip out for the great shot you don’t want to miss, the Olympus 740 Stylus camera is worth checking out.

 

If you’re looking for a camera that will give you outstanding value and superior quality, the Olympu 740 Stylus will fit the bill.
