The 750 has the same great features, but allows you to use the stabilization feature at the touch of the button instead of only in certain modes. The picture quality is great and the stabilization helps when you are not in a position to hold the camera absolutely still. I use my camera for looking at construction job sites, so having 7.1 megapixels is great to blow up pictures and not have the “grainy” effect.

The greatest thing about this camera is that it is small in size and you get 5X optical zoom instead of the standard 3X. Cameras with a bigger optical zoom are 4X the size. This camera can fit in your shirt pocket. The movie mode is clear (obviously not as clear as the picture mode) and the sound quality is good. I cannot stop saying good things about the Olympus Stylus 750. I highly recommend it.

The only constructive criticism I have about the camera is that indoors the flash sometimes goes off when not needed and causes glare and the flash effect, but with adjusting and playing with the settings you can overcome. However, it is digital, so trash, adjust and shoot again.
