Solid perfomer

(Bill Jordan - 6/26/07)

This camera is everything I expected. The Image Stabilizer works great - my handheld street shots are tack sharp. Noise is reduced versus the earlier Oly models despite higher pixel density, and the extra two megapixels add detail. The LCD is easy to view, and the camera fits well in my hand.

Just be sure to play around with the noise and color settings if you are shooting JPEGs instead of raw, as the factory defaults are a little dull.

If you don't have the bucks for top of the line SLR, this is the ticket!
