from Sam's Club, Ocala FL Summary: Satisfaction with Olympus D490Z but need for more than 3X tele prompted C740UZ buy.
in 10/04.Move up from the D490Z's 2.1 megapixels to 3.1 is very evident in sharper images. Use lower resolution for e-mailing 95% of pictures and quite satisfied. A few too many control options for my convenience, but must be great for more experienced users.
Would be helpful to provide tele stops or detents at, say, 50 - 100 - 150 - 200mm, etc. 35mm equivilents, but probably a cost deterrent. Strengths: Great images. 10X zoom is excellent as long as faster shutter used. Electronic viewfinder shows exact image like SLR in appropriate lighting. Handles comfortably and has and has good battery life. Weaknesses: Electronic viewfinder is very difficult to use on bright light and occasionally data appears in it annoyingly. Need $29 adapter to add haze & polarizing filters. Similar Products Used: Olympus D490Z used since 04/01 is still a great and handier backup, despite wear problems. Customer Service: Olympus hasn't been too helpful with my questions, but obtained needed info from internet elsewhere.
