This camera takes excellent pictures. The 10x optical zoom is great for taking detailed pictures, although it is a bit slow to respond. (My guess is that the bigger the zoom, the longer you should expect it to take). This is the highest optical zoom you can find in this price range. (Digital zoom is worthless, it does not add information, i.e. it's nothing you couldn't do on your computer later).
The camera is a bit slow to respond sometimes, by which I mean there is a delay between the time that you push the button and the image is captured. However I still give it 5 stars because for this price, you can't beat it. I am using it with a 512MB xD card (the largest that Olympus said can be used). Maybe the delay would be shorter with a smaller card.
The camera seems very solid (metal body) and has a good weight to it. I have used it in snow, and had no problems.
The photo quality and color depth is extremely good, and 4MP is more than enough for the casual photographer. (See samples)
I only wish that it had a protective door to cover the LCD screen - that would make me more comfortable.
All in all, an excellent Camera for a great price.

UPDATE: I've had this camera for over a year now, and I still love it.
I have discovered a lot of cool features, like the macro-lens feature which lets you take super-close-up photos. I will post a sample.
