Olympus SP-565UZ review

Easy to learn and operate. good image quality, especially at 64 and 100 ISO. 200 and 400 are decent, and 800 is also decent for small prints. Solidly built, and logical menus. 26mm wide angle is awesome - there is a touch of distortion at full wide angle, but not a problem for nature and landscape photography. Small and compact, and excellent electronic viewfinder. Lots of options and customization.

Problems:

Photos are a touch soft, but easily remedied by increasing contrast and sharpness in camera. Saturation is a little dull, but vivid color mode helps. XD card is a little slow to write, but typical for XD, and not a problem for what this camera is designed to do.
