Olympus C-770 Ultra Zoom (Compact Camera): 4 out of 5 stars from 6 genuine reviews on Australia's largest opinion site ProductReview.com.au.Read more
Detailed review of Olympus Camedia C-770 Zoom, with actual sample images, and a detailed data sheet.Read more
The test camera produced images with similar colour balance, contrast and saturation levels to those from the C-760 UZ. Not unexpectedly, significantly less noise was found in low light shots, especially at the highest ISO settings. Digital zoom shots were also clearer, but marginally over-sharpened. Artefacts were visible along the edges of contrasting tones, but compression artefacts were not detected. The flash also appeared to have more punch.Read more

The Olympus C-Series of digital cameras are aimed at what the camera company calls the "advanced amateurs", offering good image quality, a long zoom lens, and lots of features. The C-770 is no exception, in fact, this camera has a lot going for it.

Olympus C-770 UltraZoom Review - Steve's Digicams

Steve's Conclusion Building on the success of the popular Olympus C-750UZ, the Olympus CAMEDIA C-770 Ultra Zoom is a compact, yet highly durable camera that can fit easily into any size handbag. It shares most of its features with the sibling, the Olympus C-765UZ, including the 4-megapixel
