Olympus Stylus 780 7.1 Megapixel with 5X Opitical Zoom

Comment:
I have used this camera in a variety of situations and it doesn't disappoint. The pictures are clear, the zoom capability is a real advantage over the normal 3X optical zoom, and the closeups are awesome. Took pictures in the near-dark of historic potato houses and it brought these musty rooms to life. I could see in the picture what my eyes couldn't see, without glare or unnatural looking light. I put the case on my belt, let the sweater hang over and can draw it out like a pistol. So different from the SLR days when tourist was written all over me. Also my blow-ups have been very clear, at least to 11x14. The only problem is the wash-out on the screen in a bright, sunny day. I learned to compensate for that by holding the camera away from my body and aiming under those conditions. Works about 80% of the time. One usually tries to avoid the sun anyway

bought this a a present for my wife and turns out to be a very nice camera (she was hapy anyway) works good but i personaly like the smaller screen (harder to break)
