g'day all,
On my trip I was impressed with the number of
Olympus C700 series cameras I saw being used by Birdos.
I think they were the first with a 10X optical lens
.. but at least 2 other brands now have this option.
Unfortunately none of these appear have a stabiliser.
It is great that the C740 & C750 can just plug into any PC running the
latest MS software (except 98 ?) and be downloaded or viewed on most
TVs.
Short Course.com have a 106 page hard copy book
for many Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus models at
But they have free abbreviated downloadable pdf
versions available for many models including the C700 at
The Nikon Coolpix 4500 is at
As most of us know modern cameras have so
many features we overlook.
These pocket guides help fill that knowledge
gap.
The 18 page guide for the C700 is comprehensive
enough for my modest demands.
It is heart warming to get a "confirmation of record" that
confirms a rare bird sighting.
