Editors' Comments
Pentax has escalated the megapixel wars with the introduction of the compact, 7-megapixel Optio 750Z, which features a flip-out LCD screen and a classic, two-tone body style. After a period of concentrating on ultra-compact cameras, Pentax has shifted gears with the Optio 750Z, which is the first Optio model to have a moveable LCD and high resolution image sensor. Other attractive features include a 5x optical zoom, 10 different scene modes, and a high resolution, 30 frame-per-second movie mode. The 750Z should be available in September for around $750.
Pentax Optio 750Z Comments & Questions (write your own!)
Tried changing battery but nothing. Its almost as if the USB has fried the camera's control circuits or as disabled the on/off switch

Just curious what you like so much about this camera?
This camera has a host of features that I'd got accustom like fully manual controls, good optics (for what it is anyways) 7MP and great macro abilities plus the swivel screen (which I do use) and I haven't seen anything comarable except say the cannon G7/9s but they are $$ and don't have the swivel screen.
Plus, I can use my broken one for spare parts!
Good luck.
Thanks for the nice response to my question, too!
I have a used optio 750Z in e xcellent condition and am interested in selling it. I also have the camera manual, battery and charger to go with it. Please contact me with an offer if you are serious about purchasing it. Look forward to hearing from you. If you email me, please list (optio 750Z purchase) as the subject.
I have found one person whom I'm arranging to buy their 750z from. If for some reason that falls through I'll re-post here within a week. Thanks!
