Olympus Stylus 730 review

The Olympus Stylus 730 is a 7 megapixel slim digital camera, with a great body design, as it’s name - stylus - indicates. It has a 3 inch LCD display and large, easy-to-push, glowing buttons on it’s right. It also has a shutter and zoom control on it’s top, but this are hard-to-use, due to the camera slimness.As mostly slim cameras, it doesn’t have an optical viewfinder, so the only you can use is the LCD display. It’s very easy to use, having only timer, flash and macro adjustments, the rest being automatic. This is very good for users that only want to take point-and-shoot photos.

The camera can also record movie clips, with 30 frames per second and it can be used in snow or rain, having the body sealed. Olympus Stylus 730′ biggest disadvantage is it’s low image quality, photos having too much noise and being fuzzy. And the lens don’t get the colors very well, sometimes distorting them seriously.

Another problem is the shooting speed, taking it from 2.5 to 3.5 seconds to take a photo and 2.5 seconds to power up.

The Olympus Stylus 730 is a camera mostly made for it’s very nice looking design, than for photo quality, which it seriously misses.
