I am looking at buying my first digital camera ever & with the prices for this model am looking at buying this one for birding. Any comments from current or previous owners. Thanks.

Olympus C-765 UZ

The Olympus C-770 UZ seems to be the latest in this line. I am just about to buy one myself.

There's a review at http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/c770uz.html

There are Olympus C-750UZ factory refurbished cameras for sale on ebay for about £130 including warranties and boxed up properly by Olympus so I may buy one of those instead. A slightly out-of-date model won't affect my photography.

roy191 used a C-750UZ with a TCON17 telephoto for his birdforum photos.

Prices for a C-770UZ are about £220 to £250 but one company is selling them at £120 (Pricegrabber lists it as a C770 but the company lists a C480 which must be different) http://www.equipmentexpress.co.uk/shop/acatalog/Olympus_Camedia_C_480.html but I don't know whether to trust a sale at such a discounted price!
