After many years of using digital cameras, I've finally found one that has consistently impressed me with it's ease of use and myriad of features. It's priced around $400, goes up to 6 megapixels (which is great for casual use) and it has a 3" glossy display on the back. It easily fits in your pocket, the battery life is great and the memory cards aren't very expensive. If that's not enough, it shoots video as well. I took it on a trip with the kids, and not only were our pictures amazing, but we were all able to use it without having to read the manual. I give it 5 out of 5 Stars.

The 3" LCD caused us to buy this camera on a recent trip to Maui, HI. We also bought a 512mb SDcard. After some fumbling, we found it easy to use and it has huge storage, 328 images at the highest resolution and 1,879 images at the basic resolution. The camera has many features, 18X zoom, and quick start up, making it a perfect gift for the non tech person.

Great little digital camera. The biggest attraction of this one is the 3" screen! Everyone has told me they were getting one because of the screen! And who wudda thunk that it has a video feature! I've used this soo many times. I'm having a hard time giving this one up for my new digital SLR camera (not Olympus). Takes really great pix.

This camera is perfect for macro type shots. I use it to take pictures of flowers and parts of flowers. I have found that it is good down to about one millimeter objects. It has its faults though (like the auto focus is sometimes a bit funky), but for the price it is an easy 5 stars.

This photo is of a very tiny flower sitting on the end of my finger. The flower is less than one mm in length (1/24 of an inch) and yet the image is crisp with lots of detail.
