Lens
 |
The 750Z and Olympus C-7000 Zoom are the only current seven megapixel digital cameras which provide an almost 200 mm equiv. telephoto, although the price you pay is a not-very-wide 38 mm equiv. 'wide angle'. The 750Z is also the second slowest extending camera of our group test, just under three seconds isn't fast. |
