Only Average

After reading rave reviews, I purchased my C-750 UZ as a replacement for my Sony Mavica 3-MP. (My Sony, with its' mini-CD storage, was an outstanding camera; but I couldn't read the CD's on my new computer without having to finalizing them first. That was just too much hassle; so I bought my C-750.)

The C-750 has a lot of bells & whistles; but it's overall performance and picture quality just don't measure up to my older Sony Mavica.

The auto focus is far too slow ... except under perfect lighting conditions. This causes far too many blurred shots and/or missed action shots.

I shoot a lot of nature photos (flowers, wildlife, etc.) and my C-750 never gives me true red or blue colors ... not even under perfect lighting conditions.

I'm also VERY disappointed with my C-750's macro shots. By the time I get in close to my subject, I don't enough light to get good pictures. When shooting flowers, I get better results using the maximum optical zoom from about 3-4 feet away. The digital zoom is awesome; but the picture quality suffers, so I don't use it.

The C-750's mostly metal body is more durable than a lot of other compact digital cameras; but after just 14 months the zoom lens motor on mine is starting to fail. (The lens has stuck in the extended position a couple of times when I powered off my camera. And, sometimes the zoom won't respond at all when I'm trying to take a picture.)

Overall, I wouldn't call the C-750 a bad camera; but I'm disappointed with mine and sorry I bought it.

When my zoom final quits working (probably not much longer) I won't bother having it repaired; so I'm already starting to shop around for my next new digital camera.
