Olympus Stylus 740 digital camera review

Imaging-resource has posted a review of the Olympus Stylus 740 digital camera.

Mike Pasini writes: As well as still images, the Stylus 740 can capture movies at VGA or lower resolution, at a rate of 15 frames per second. The 740 also has a twelve second self-timer to let you get into your own pictures. The camera stores images on xD-Picture cards, or 17MB of built-in memory, and also offers both video, and USB 2.0 Full Speed computer connectivity (sounds fast, but it’s actually slower than the USB 2.0 High Speed connections on many cameras these days). Power comes from a proprietary Lithium
Ion battery, of Li-42B type.

The Olympus Stylus 740 ships from September in the USA, priced at $350. A separately available PT-034 underwater housing will allow the camera to be used underwater at depths of up to 40 meters, and is priced at an additional $250.
