Olympus C-770 UZ review

A couple of weeks ago I decided to replace my 5 year old C-770 with a Canon SX20IS.
Just in case I had some trouble with the new camera, I took the C-770 along, as a back-up, on a weeks holiday in beautiful Norfolk Island in the South Pacific. I shot more than 300 images on the Canon and only about 70 on the Olympus.
Being a pre-digital age pro photographer, to me, image quality is THE thing that any camera is judged by. So when I looked at the images on my monitor, I decided right away to bring my old Oly out of retirement.
Due to its way superior image quality, I'll keep using it untill it turns up its toes. The Canon is a well built camera that has lots of bells and whistles, but its POOR/BAD image quality has got me thinking I've wasted my money.

Problems:

None.
