The model is virtually unique in its class and represents a fresh new generation of high-performance, compact digital camera with great looks. Its weatherproof* metal body boasts a stylish, ergonomic design – yet despite its small size it provides for top performance.

Stylish and ultra-compact, the weatherproof*, metal-bodied µ 740 is sure to turn heads and make an impact wherever it's taken. This is not least due to the range of colours available: Moonlight Silver, Twilight Blue and Sunset Red, combined with the revered µ build-quality.

The camera features a precision 5x zoom lens for exceptional shooting flexibility and performance spanning a range that covers 36-180mm (35mm camera equivalent).
