The best package for a 10x optical with 640x480 video with sound in this size body so far. Don't be let down by the MP as the lens and features will get you excellent pictures.
Very sharp and detail image, auto or plenty of manual controls for special situations and very close to the features of a SLR. The 10x optical zoom and the dual flash(wide and zoom is amazing). You could shoot a subject in shadow with a bright background using fill in flash.
The macro and super macro allows very detailed close-up shots.
Olym technical support was great.
Problems:
Not really a problem but would be nice to have IS.
The video need a non Type M or H xD card only. Not a problem with still pictures.
Olym shd have provided a better case, the one that came with the camera is a little flimsy.
The tripod thread could have been metal tread.
Olym shd hv included a printed copy of the full manual(perhaps they were trying to be environment friendly)
