bought one for my mother and played with it all day. it really is a nice little camera. all the gripes that i read about here seem to be non existant. the sliding cover does NOT rub the side of the lens. in fact my mother and i could only get it to do so when forced. looks like olympus fixed the problem. the pictures look stunning for a 1.3mp camera. even at 640x480 in low res mode everthing looks really good. takes great low light shots with no flash. even with flas it looks great and the colors are not off. being able to push it 2 stops is also real fun, also slow flash is a great bonus. the results were quite artistic. camera gets a little warm after a while. batteries lasted all day and night with the lcd on most of the time and are still charged (close to 200 pictures (in 2 hours) and i guess it would have gone another 100-150 but i had to go home). the software is a breaze to use and does the job nicely, has lots of nice features that will assist in bettering the pictures you take. the camera is SO SO easy to use and understand but with out having a "camera for dummies" feel to it. even the technologically challange mother got the hang of it in no time at all. i really gave this little camera a workout and it performed like a champ. i posted some samples at...
Problems:
two (green) hot pixels. show up real good in artsy night time photos but are not seen with the flash on or in a normal situation. can be cleaned up in seconds with the included camedia software and i would not condisider this an issue but thought it needed mentioning. mom has an older computer with no ps2 mouse so she has to unplug the external modem to download pictures but really thats her problem not the cameras. getting her a usb card for the free ZIO that came with the camera and life shoud be great. downloads a full card in about 5 minutes or less, alot faster than a one hour photo
