Great camera
Oct 29, 2005Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros:
Cons:
Opinion:
This is one great camera, everything about it is how it should be, quick, great size, resolution, solid construction, wonderful color saturation. Of my 4 digital cameras this is the best and my Nikon Coolpix 8800
is the worst. As to the problem re battery and charging, go on ebay and buy a spare battery with a neat little charger for about $50. Then you have no problems at all.
Excellent MPEG-4 movies...

Opinion:
I'm a heavy user of video mode in cameras. So far, the Mpeg4 movies of Z750 are very clear with little 'noise' as compared to the other brands with Mpeg4 feature, eg. Kodak V550, Pentax Optio S5Z or S6. Other brands' video suffers from high compression and has more 'noise' in the movie clip. As for the snapshot picture, recommend to upgrade firmware to v1.01, which gives a more balanced and nice picture quality without oversaturation/sharpness. Have been using it for about a month. Very pleased with the camera so far. However, do take note on how to prevent the 'lens error'... Cheers.
Prevent "lens error"

It has been noted that it may be easy to accidentally power on the camera while it is inside its case or in a situation where the lens is not free to move. If this happens you may damage the lens unit inside the camera. When the camera is used again the lens either comes out and goes straight back in with lens error or when zoomed to full, the lens retracts with lens error. The best safeguard to avoid this is to disable the REC and PLAY button power-on option. (MENU - SET UP - REC/PLAY - DISABLE). Please either make sure this option is disabled or take extra care to avoid pressing the REC or PLAY buttons in the above situation. Another safeguard is to leave the camera in the voice recording mode when not in use. In this mode the cameras lens will not extend if the camera is turned on. The voice recording mode is indicated ... Read more
Very quick power up! Less than 1 second

I've had it for 2 weeks and have taken 50+ pictures on the go at the Texas State fair. Am really concerned with earlier posts of people breaking the lcd and jamming the lens assy. Has not happened to me. What razzle dazzles me is the long shutter open time. I took some really kewl night shots using 10+second timer shots and wow! What a pic. Maximum open shutter time=60 secs. I'm excited with anticipation on using this camera for thunderstorm lightning shots! On a 128mb sd i could record like 47 pics at maximum resolution. The zoom with the right kind of focus is a bit tricky but looks good when right. Movie mode is really kewl! Came out so life-like. Smooth detail on tv. No regrets buying this gem. So far... I'm hoping won't let me down.
Great product for its size
Aug 9, 2005Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)

Opinion:
Bought it a month ago, took it to Bali on a family holiday. Great performance! The contrast and sharpness of the images are excellent. Unfortunately, it's not the camera to use at night/rooms with limited lights. The flash is weak, buy another brand if you want better performance under those conditions. Video qlty is very good, but the voice is too soft then. Can hardly hear anyone's voice in the video if he/she is 10ft away from the camera.
