In term of image quality, the c-725 can easily beat the canon a75, not only because it has a SLR like performance but also for the ultra 8X optical zoom. The only draw back is the c-725 uses XD memory, which is a bit more expensive than any other flash memory cards in the market today. But you certainly can't go wrong for this incredible low price.

review of the camera

The colors seem washed out . . . but a damn good deal nontheless!

 

[yougotdeals]

Yes. I really like the 8X optical zoom and while i'd rather it be 4 MP, it's hard to argue with this price. The only other turn off is the XD memory as picpop mentioned.

but XD gets you a better battery life.

Never heard of the C-725 before. I have a C-720. What are the differences?

Damn, deal dead (redirects to a generic landing page). I should have bought it before i rebooted my computer this evening.

Here's a link to a new Olympus deal. Not a 8X optical zoom though.

Back in stock but it's for $160 now. Still cheaper then most other places however.

The only difference I've seen is that the 725 uses the XD card and comes with 4 AA batteries instead of the Olympus 3 volt batteries the 720 came with. I work part time at Office Max and have sold several of each.

I had a 700 that I gave to my daughter and it took very good pics for a 2 megapixel.
