I previously owned an Olympus camera for several years. It worked well and I happened to see this one. It's sleek, small, and is relatively easy to figure out. Only downside is that it doesn't use AA's--you have to use the specialty Olympus Li-on battery. After using it extensively, I can safely say that there are 2 things that are poorly designed on this camera. One is that lack of B&W/sepia photos. Second is that the image stabilization in this camera is exceptionally pathetic compared to previous models.
