Olympus raised the bar on consumer electronics innovation today with the launch of two ultra-compact 4.0-megapixel, 10x optical zoom Changing the focal length of a camera by adjusting the physical zoom lens. All zoom lenses in film cameras and digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are optical zoom. Digital point-and-shoot cameras as well as consumer and prosumer video camcorders have optical zoom, but they also digital cameras: the new C-770 Ultra Zoom and C-765 Ultra Zoom. Olympus introduced the first-ever Ultra Zoom digital camera four years ago, and has since become the category leader by producing increasingly robust and feature-rich models. The incredibly compact size of the latest models - the smallest Olympus has produced to date - makes them ideal traveling companions to take anywhere and bring the action closer at a sporting event, on the red carpet, in the great outdoors and everywhere in between. "Olympus introduced our first Ultra Zoom digital camera to the world in 2000, and since then we've taken all our knowledge and design experience to make the Ultra Zoom line even more compact and powerful," said T.J. Dickson, Product Manager of Digital, Olympus America Inc. "As a result, these cameras are some of the smallest of their kind and the lens features a similar focal range typically found on much larger cameras. Increased processing speed for a fast start-up time and continuous shooting, a vivid LCD, an easy-to-use menu and high resolution complete the total package." Innovative The C-770 and C-765 Ultra Zoom digital cameras have also been enhanced with a new image processor called TruePic TURBO(TM) that significantly improves image quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds for rapid startup, shutter release and playback. TruePic TURBO captures information from all 4.0 million pixels with pixel "micro-smoothing" that delivers clearer and more color-accurate photos up to poster-size and larger. For the first time on an Ultra Zoom model, the C-770 Ultra Zoom captures video with audio in MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). 4 Movie format, the next-generation multimedia standard with more efficient file compression See data compression.

Stylish Size does matter when it comes to Ultra Zoom cameras. Just because the cameras offer incredible zoom lenses doesn't mean that they have to be big and clunky. In fact, the C-770 and C-765 each weighs just 10.6 ounces without batteries and xD-Picture Card The xD-Picture Card is a type of flash memory card, used mainly in digital cameras. xD originally stood for extreme Digital.[1] The cards were developed by Olympus and Fujifilm and introduced into the market in July 2002. , making them the smallest and lightest Olympus 10x Ultra Zoom digital cameras ever. The cameras are a sleek 4.3" W x 3.0" H x 3.0" D in size with a silvery body, and their trim figures mean they can comfortably fit into a pocket, purse or backpack for travel. The physical difference between the cameras is that the C-770 has a metal body and a hot-shoe for adding external flash.
