argh now i have a few models in mind: c720 ($760ap quote me), c4000 (not available), c4040 (not available at ap too).... haiz dunno which one to get... my budget onli 1000.

Anyway i was considering canon G2 also but cos i love my 2040 too much i wanna stay with olympus..

About the usual price, I was quoted $750 w/o GST.

c4000 (not available), c4040 (not available at ap too).... haiz dunno which one to get... my budget onli 1000.

C720UZ provides manual controls over aperture size, shutter speed, ISO (100,200,400), WB presets, flash intensity, contrast/brightness etc. in full manual mode; but no manual focus, and manual WB. It also has the usual program AE, shutter priority and aperture priority modes with exposure compensation.

C4000/4040 comes with brighter lens, larger LCD and more manual controls at the cost of less focal length (105mm as compared to C720's 320mm).

C730UZ (scheduled for November) will have those missing features reinstated but expect a higher price though (US$699 SRP, US$599 street price estimated).

Hope this helps.

How's the weather in Greece this time of the year, Syncmaster???

We're experiencing a dry spell here in Singapore, due to the El Nono effect. Had a few small fire in the bushes already!!!

Aiyoh! Bro, how can u be so blur???

The buyer actually contacted me for advice on whether yours is a good buy or not and I said YES!!! Thought you really wanna upgrade.

I think you better wait for the C-730UZ, it has better features than the C-720UZ.

haha bro i think i have decided on the c4000. Since the buyer dun want my 2.0 rayonex teleconverter i might as well save it for myself. Haha if i buy c730 and still use my converter... then i got 20x optical zoom! hahaha

 

[strength_n_honour]

just called ap and they offer me 824 with free GP charger and 64mb SM.. but i already have my casio charger and they dun allow me to exchange for anything else...

dunno whether its a good deal or not... must go down sls later liao.

Anyone keeping track of Olympus users by camera models. Just wodering how many E-10 users out there. Keen to discuss your experiences, especially techniques.

Thanks!!!

Well, Strength_n_Honour, sorry about your erm "misfortune". But i enjoyed the C2040Z alot with its full manual control, though still trying to find my way around.. No thanks to the skinny Oly documentation. So paiseh now the whole world knows what i did under the table...:embrass:

Thanks for the deal By the way, the cam guzzled my GP1600 batts in no time when i only took like 15 pics.. Go figure.... Looks like i need to buy more batts and a Rayovac charger or something similar.

Gotta ask though: how you 2040Z gurus actually learn how to make use of the cam fully? Through experimenting or got some site online to help? Got any tips for a newbie? How many batts will last a whole day?

Thanks

 

[strength_n_honour]

that's funny... batt life was never a problem for me... i took like avg 80 pics with LCD on for a full set of batt (but i'm using 1700).. prob ur batt wasn't fully charged i think..

as for the website... i remember there was a very good website for c2040 user but i need to find the url... gimme sometime k.
