Replacement camera questions.

[Chris A]

I am in the market to purchase a new digital camera. In the latest Costco coupon book they have a Olympus C-755 Ultra Zoom 4MP Camera. They will have it listed for $379.99 after the coupon.

I have been having a hard time finding a review of this one and was wondering if it is a good deal.

My old Olympus C-2020 burned out the power supply so I am not to sure about trusting another Olympus camera. I had thoughts of just heading down to Walmart and picking up a sub $200. camera that is on clearance..

Any thoughts on this camera? Sorry no link I couldnt find a good one..

That's probably a typo on the coupon. The C755, i believe, is not sold in the USA. Steve's Digicams web site has reviews of the C750 and C765.

Coupon and web site say the same thing.

If you want expensive, i just spent $500 on a new sony dsc-t1. 5.1 megapixel in a size about .8" thick of credit cards stacked up. If you want <$200 I also have a 3.1mp HP photosmart 435. Both excellent cameras. No beef with the HP, just had a good sale on the sony going on at best buy. They both work great on either end of the price spectrum.

Now you're piqued my curiosity.

This site has a small discussion about the C755. It sounds as if the C755 is very similar to the C750. Someone there even mentioned the Costco deal. Fill us in if you find out.

you'd be surprised what Costo carries. My neighbor bought a Minolta Digital Camera there, and it's a model they don't sell in the US. I could find no reviews of it, and after some Googling around, I discovered it's the Euro model.

wish they'd stock that UK Canon printer that prints directly on the cd's 🙂
