Josh Waller Reviews Olympus C-725 Ultra Zoom

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | August 11, 2004 | 1 Comments

Olympus C-725 Ultra ZoomJosh Waller seems to be making a habit of reviewing affordable digicams; this time he’s taken a look at the 3 megapixel Olympus C-725 Ultra Zoom, which has an 8x optical zoom and retails for around £141.

“Image quality is very good - the images have great colour, good detail, low noise, but seem a bit soft occassionally - there is some noticable purple fringing, which unfortunately is quite normal for ultra zoom digital cameras at the moment. The macro mode is good, if a bit average. The flash occassionally over-exposes photos when the subject is too close. The movie mode is quite poor, especially as it is limited in length and doesn’t record sound.”

Got a cheap little Kodak EZ200 in Nov 2000, had it for a couple of days and managed to produce the following review on amazon (http://tinyurl.com/3vys9). The camera cost me around 50 quid, amazon saw my reviewing potential and gave me £50 in Amazon vouchers I shortly sold it for £40. Since then every camera has cost considerably more, just wish that the artistic quality of the pictures had increased as much. CHRIS
