Josh Waller Reviews Olympus C-725 Ultra Zoom
Josh 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.”
