Olympus Stylus 760 Reviews: I rec
ently purchased the Olympus Stylus 760 to replace my 2.1 Megapixel Olympus that I purchased years ago. While I love my old Olympus, I wanted to replace it with something a little smaller and lighter. I have been very disappointed with the new 760 the pictures are terrible! I even took the first one back, thinking it was defective. I have done a number of comparison shots between my old digital and the 760 and the 760 shots are much worse in all lighting conditions! I have been able to fix some of the problems with the Olympus software, but I can’t do that for every shot I take. The problems are bad blurring of any movement of the camera or subject in lower light conditions even with the anti vibration turned on. Even in good, outdoor lighting the camera is sometimes out of focus, poor auto read of lighting balance, and then there is that viewscreen which is useless outdoors. I am planning to take this one back and try a different brand. I have always had good luck with Olympus for both film and digital photography but something is seriously wrong with the Stylus 760!
Olympus Stylus 760 Reviews: The last thing I needed was another digital camera but this one is amazing. I have had it only about three weeks but I have loved the pictures so far. I made an 8×10 enlargement of one of them and it was great. I haven’t had any problems with them being grainy or blurry at all. I got this camera because a friend got it and as I was helping her get it set up, I fell in love with the size of it and then with all the features. There are many features I haven’t used yet but it has been great so far. I highly recommend it.
Olympus Stylus 760 Description: Life is a blur. Your images should be crisp and clear. The 7.1 megapixel Stylus 760 digital camera combines an impressive suite of features previously unavailable in a single Olympus model. New Dual Image Stabilization technology compensates for camera shake and freezes action with stunning clarity. The camera’s All-Weather design seals out moisture so you can safely shoot in the elements. With Bright Capture Technology, you’ll get vivid images in low light, without a flash. And share all your great shots on the 2.5″ Wide-View LCD, featuring a backlight boost button for enhanced visibility even in direct sunlight.
Olympus Stylus 760 Reviews: I chose this camera over the Nikon Coolpix S200 because of the all weather casing. Biggest mistake of my life. The photos are overexposed, and only come out in focus if you always use the flash. I’ve adjusted the ISO settings, tried different modes, but nothing seems to make these pictures better. I chose this as a replacement for my Canon Powershot S1 IS. And I have decided to return it, because the pictures are of such bad quality. It is sleek and compact, but the picture quality could have been achieved by an entry level digital camera, not something that is of this standard and supposed quality.
Olympus Stylus 760 Reviews: Because of its size and good battery life, the Stylus 760 is very convenient to take anywhere. The settings are easy to access and allow you to take good pictures in just about any setting. On the downside, the LCD is difficult to see in sunlight and time between pictures is excessive.
Olympus Stylus 760 Reviews: This is a great camera, with one glaring defect! The LCD screen is not only difficult to view in sunlight it is impossible to view. You can’t take photos in sunlight, you just point and shoot blind. This camera is so bad that Olympus either has to fix the problem, or take it off the market. The brightness of the LCD is adjustable, but you can’t view the screen in sunlight no matter how you adjust it. I have tried sunglasses, but it makes the problem worse. Wearing a cap or hat will probably help somewhat, as would a black cloth draped over your head and the camera.
