I'm a big fan of the C-750. I don't use the extra features very often because my pictures usually turn out very nice at the standard settings. It has an excellent zoom, a nice interface, and it's simple enough that even my dad (who I don't think has actually owned his own camera since the days when you had to buy separate flash cubes) was able to take a lot of good pictures the one time I had him use it.
It uses batteries (4 AA) really efficiently. You know how many pictures I can take if I want to. Last year in California, I took pictures to a near-ScaperCon degree and while I recharged the batteries every day, I didn't need to. And that's with using the view screen. I don't know what the battery pack will be like, though.
I have a 256 MB xD card and I can get almost 300 pictures on there at the highest JPEG setting (2288 x 1712). And if I don't go crazy with the pictures, I have plenty of room for recording QT movies if I want.
And, personally, I swear by Olympus. Their cameras have served both me and Natalie well.
So if this is just a slight upgrade from the C-750, I'd be sold on it except for maybe the battery pack. I don't know enough about that to say anything.
