Reviewing: Olympus C 770
Purchased at: E Bay

Ive actually had my Olympus digital camera for a number of years already. And I know how technology progresses so quickly, but I am still perfectly happy with this camera. Ive taken thousands of pictures with it, and it still just keeps on performing!

The Olympus C-770 Ultra Zoom is a 4.0 megapixel, 10X optical zoom, SLR model that uses a rechargeable lithium battery and an XD Memory Card. The lithium rechargeable battery is fantastic! Ive been using the same battery for years (at least three or four I cant quite remember) with no problems whatsoever. Obviously, Ill never go back to the old fashioned alkaline or even nickel batteries again. I used NIMH rechargeable batteries with my last camera, an Olympus D model, but those batteries would get sucked dry in no time. It got very frustrating.

I know this camera wasnt cheap, but I cant remember how much it was.I think it was somewhere between $250.00 and $350.00 at the time as it was a newer model. Now that it is an older model, a person could pick one up for a song, Im sure.

If youd like a nice digi-cam for a great price, and you need pictures mostly for internet use, this would not be a bad choice at all.

You could use it for print photos, but these days you can get better resolution for more professional looking prints. I often take my memory card to a Kodak Kiosk at Safeway to have any hard copies I need printed. They come out just lovely.

I am a happy Olympus digi-cam owner and recommend the C-770 as a dependableworkhorse of a camera.

I love Olympus cameras. My father had one that he used in the early 50's of a trip to Hawaii and the shots were glorious. I want one of these and hope to snag a bargain on one of them soon.

I've been looking at an Olympus for my next camera. I'm glad to hear the perform well over time. I can't wait to get one now that I've seen your images!
