The Olympus Stylus 730 is the baby of the manufacturer’s new fall lineup of stylish digital cameras. Still, this baby comes with a lot of enticing features. It has 7.1 megapixels, a tiny 3x optical zoom lens, and an enormous 3-inch LCD screen. This display screen is Olympus’ first to reach the massive 3-inch plateau. The Olympus Stylus 730 doesn’t have the shock proof designation of the earlier Stylus 720 SW, but is still considered “all weather” with its metal body and rubber sealants. The Stylus 730 is being touted as “the perfect first camera” with its sophisticated look and its ease of use features. While industry analysts contend that the digital camera industry has matured beyond the introductory level, Olympus is banking on the 730’s large screen, adjustable font, and perfect fix functionality to entice remaining entry-level consumers to purchase the camera, when it becomes available in September for $399.
