I just checked and didn't see a rebate offer on the Olympus site.
Yeah. That's the catch. I do have a P-400 but not purchased within the time they required.
If not, maybe you could email a pic to me directly if it's not too much to ask. I'm seriously considering this camera to supplement my 2100 and I'll be taking a good number of flash photos.

Ok people I have a few pics for you. Right out of the camera full
auto mode no adjustment at all. All taken in my house. Lighting is
not good at all. The first picture the room is very dark relying
only on the internal flash. I actually took a lot more but my
family not allowing me to show their faces.
What you think?

Amy, can you already say something about the times (AF time, shutter lag, time OFF-> first shot) of the camera? I'm actually less interested in the actual values, but much more in your personal feeling about the responsiveness of the camera. (E.g. How does it compare to your old model? Is the lag annoying? How many good opportunities went by because you had to wait until the camera was ready for the first shot?). Oh, and something else: Have you ever taken some picture in low-light condition? I'm very interested to hear how well the AF works if there is less light. (As far as I know, there is no AF assist for low-light condition in tis camera).
Whenever I get a new camera I always take a few pictures right out of the box around the same area as reference. Comparatively, the color and white balance is amazingly correct. Better than 3040. This is easily seen by comparing the 3rd picture with the ones I took with other cameras. The yellow and blue walls were never so correctly colored by any camera I had before. White balance is perfect too. The picture ledges of the 3rd picture shows it well.Hi Amy. The pics look good.....but only you know if the colors are
accurate. Are they? Indoor flash pics are hard because the white
balance can get weird...are these on Auto? Someone else suggested
posting the full size pics...that would be great (if you have a
fast connection

Batteries life will be a problem. I used 2 fresh 1800mah batteries
with LCD and flash on every pic. Batteries indicator start flashing
after around 15 pictures and took more and more time to write and
start another picture. This is not good. A trade off for a really
compact camera. Still, I cannot keep my hands off the camera yet.

What's the drain like using the viewfinder & flash only?

Thanks very much! Looking at all the questions in this thread, I
hope you still get some time to enjoy your new toy
