Amazon.com Product Description
Olympus yet again raises the bar in the ultra-zoom digital camera arena with the 4-megapixel Camedia C-765. It's the smallest digital camera in the world featuring an optical 10x optical zoom (as of February 2004), measuring 4.11 x 2.36 x 2.7 inches (12-percent smaller than its predecessor, the C-750) and weighing only 9.9 ounces. It also features a Super Zoom function that extends to 14x close-ups, movie mode with audio, fast USB 2.0 connectivity, and a bevy of manual features. Optics and Resolution
 | | | Olympus' 10x optical zoom gets the detail of hard-to-reach subjects without loss of image quality. | With its 4-megapixel resolution, the C-765 captures 2288 x 1712 pixel images for impressive, photo-quality 11 x 14-inch print enlargements. It als features a full range of resolution modes: 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480 pixels. It records both in JPEG and TIFF format. The C-765's bright (f2.8-f3.7) optical system--normally only found in pro-level SLR cameras--comprises 11 elements arranged in 7 groups and includes two aspherical lenses to reduce distortion as well as an ED element to help reduce chromatic aberration. The 10x optical zoom lens (6.3-63mm, or 38-380mm equivalent in 35mm photography) is combined with a 4x digital zoom for a seamless 40x total zoom. The new Super Zoom function--captured at 1600 x 1200 (2-megapixel) resolution--enables you to extend to an amazing 14x optical zoom. Movie Mode
Use the C-765 to shoot video with sound using the QuickTime motion JPEG format. It records video at 15 frames per second (fps) and has two resolution modes: 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 pixels. More Features
The C-765 is one of the first Olympus models to feature TruePic Turbo, a new image processor that sharpens image clarity, contrast, and color for life-like results. This feature also makes the camera 30% faster in processing images and is combined with a super-fast shutter release time.  | | The mode dial offers quick access to automatic settings, as well as four customizable "My Mode" settings. | In auto mode, the C-765 offers point-and-shoot simplicity for flawless picture taking. For those times when you want to tweak your creativity, the C-765 has aperture priority, shutter priority, or full manual settings. The 6 Scene modes (controlled by the dial on top of the camera) provide fully automatic exposure adjustments in a wide variety of settings: Portrait, Self Portrait, Landscape-Portrait, Sports, Night Scene and Landscape photography. The 4 customizable "My Mode" settings help save time by allowing you to assign frequently used settings to the mode dial for quick access. The optimized electronic viewfinder (unlike many optical viewfinders) enables precise framing of the shot as well as displays all activated settings so you don't have to take your eyes off your subject. Other features include: - 1.8-inch low-temperature poly-silicon TFT LCD (118,000 pixels)
- Built-in flash with several modes: auto for low light and backlight, red-eye reduction , fill-in (forced on), and slow shutter synchronized
- 1.5 frames per second burst mode up to 8 frames in HQ mode
- ISO settings: Auto, 64, 100, 200, 400
Direct Printing
The C-765 is PictBridge compatible, which enables you to transfer pictures from your digital camera to a compatible printer (such as the Olympus P-10), without a PC or image-editing software. All PictBridge devices share three basic features: camera-to-printer connecting, single-image printing, and uniform error messages (in case something goes wrong). Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on XD Picture Card memory cards. The card's small size, about the same as a postage stamp, helps to keep the camera size down. The included 16 MB card will store approximately 16 images at 2288 x 1712 pixels (at HQ, JPEG setting). Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via ultra-fast USB 2.0 connectivity, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98 Rev2Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software. Power and Size
The camera is powered by a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery (model Li-10B, included), which provides approximately 175 shots per charge with typical use. It measures 4.11 x 2.36 x 2.7 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 9.9 ounces (excluding battery and storage media). What's in the Box
This package contains the Camedia C-765 digital camera, 16 MB XD memory card, lithium-ion rechargeable battery (Li-10B) and battery charger, USB and A/V cables, carrying strap, lens cap with retainer cord, quick-start guide, and printed instruction manual. The CD-ROM features Camedia Master software, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Camera Reference Manual.

 Great Camera October 22, 2005
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This Olympus C765 replaces a Nikon Coolpix 2100 (reviewed here two + years ago. Of course, the resolution is better, but it is almost as small and it is just as simple (or simpler) to use. I have been very pleased in the past month of so that I have owned this.
Among other features, the "C" series has exceptional optical zoom capabilities (the C765 is 10X). In my opinion, this is one of the most important features of a camera, as you can do the zooming up front without burning through pixels during a touchup. The lens quality is fine.
Both of my children have "C" series Olympus cameras, one as much as 4 years old (the camera, that is), and love them. I'm expecting a long life for this puppy.
Two small nits: The default setting is to use the LCD screen when going into photo mode - I prefer to use the viewfinder. You can toggle to this, but it's a minor hassle. If you prefer the LCD, you'll be fine. Secondly, the software that comes with the camera seems to demand that you store your work in their proprietary "albums" buried deep in the program. I will need to work with this more to make my photos more accessible.
As usual, you will want to buy a larger memory card. I also sprang for a case.
All in all, very satisfied.
 Zoom zoom zoom October 21, 2005
I bought the 765 primarily for the 10x zoom and the sports mode.
It was priced right and the 3rd digital camera I own.
The automatic settings are great and in my spare time I try to work with the manual adjustments which are plentiful.
For sporting events the continuous mode works well for action, but must be reset if the camera is turned off. You should also have a monopod or tripod when using the zoom.
It's not an SLR, but the lag time and features are the next best thing. The C series is being replaced and on line is about the only place you can find this model. Got it in 3-4 days.
Works with Architecture photos October 3, 2005

The camera has been superb in taking detail photos of my architecture models. No details are forgotten when using the zoom. Everything u need to take quality photos are at your finger tips. Only set back was that the camera came with a 16MB storage card. Also the price was too high, even when buying at CompUSA. Other than that, the product is working just fine.

Has everything you will ever need. Small size is compact and excellent for small hands of a 12 year old. Not loaded down with options that you will never need or use once in it's life time. If it doesn't have it, you probably don't need it.
Olympus C765 Digital Camera September 22, 2005

I recently purchased this camera and therefore haven't used it a lot. So far, I like it a very much. I read a review of it from DCRP Review: Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom. The review was very good. I like the 10x zoom capability; my pictures are very clear. The camera has more bells and whistles than I'll be able to use now but I am glad to have them. I recently signed up for an online course on digital photography and I am very glad I purchased this camera. I think my creativity will be pleasantly challenged. In addition it is very light and easy to hold (or carry). I am looking forward to many pleasant photography experiences on my own and in connection with my course. One experience - I was watching a DVD calculus course. The instructor was tracing a graph with a cursor. My daughter's cat was fascinated, stood on his hind legs and batted at the TV. I was able to quickly set up the camera and take a terrific shot of CC the cat learning calculus. I would recommend this camera for novices and professionals alike.
