The Olympus Stylus 760 is a 7.1-mega pixel camera with a 2.5-inch LCD screen. Cnet has rated it 7 out of 10, saying: “The Olympus Stylus 760 is a great choice if you just want a small, light, weather-resistant camera, but beware of image flaws”.

They have also written a good review of the Stylus 760 where they write: “the Stylus 760’s most distinctive feature is its sleek, weather-resistant metal body. The stylish camera, measuring less than an inch thick and weighing only 4.5 ounces, is small and light enough to fit into almost any pocket and comes in light blue, pink, black, and silver versions.”

“The Stylus 760′s performance was decent, but not remarkable. After a startup time of 2.1 seconds, the camera could take a shot every two seconds thereafter. With the onboard flash enabled, that time increased to three seconds per shot. Shutter lag was a brisk 0.5 second in bright light, though shooting targets in dim light more than tripled the lag to 1.7 seconds.

Our testing yielded reasonably sharp photos with well-resolved details in the center, although there were a few spots where postprocessing smeared some edges–a common problem in compacts. Colors tended to be a bit too cool but appropriately saturated, and measured noise was surprisingly low, appearing as only a moderate grain even at ISO 800. At ISO 1,600, however, the photos exploded with noise-driven speckles and fuzz. As you’d expect from the narrow, short-range zoom lens, distortion was almost nonexistent, barreling only slightly at the edges at its widest.

Though its images aren’t perfect and it’s a bit sluggish, the Olympus Stylus 760 is still a good compact camera. Its light, pocketable design and logical, simple features make it a fine choice for anyone who wants a small camera he or she can take nearly anywhere. “
