I really like this camera. This is our 4th digicam since going all digital in 1999. Had Canon s40 prior to Oly c50. c50 is lighter, feels much smaller (a good thing in our opinion) and c50 will ALWAYS take a picture when the shutter button is pressed (so far, anyway). Focus is equal to s40 even though Oly c50 has no assist light. Mark down to 4.5 on image quality due to noise levels, but it's nothing serious IMHO. Features at 4.5 because no movie sound.
Li battery and power management are great. I bought a spare battery, but I seldom need to switch in a day's shooting.
The compact flash adapter (extra cost) works fine for reading my xD cards on the computer. Also, the c50 appears as a disk drive with no drivers required in WinXP Home Edition via USB.
Problems:
None. Bring on the 256MB xD cards!
