Editors' Comments
The Stylus 7040 is another good-looking, middle-of-the-road point-and-shoot from Olympus. It's very similar to the 7030, though notable improvements include a 720p HD MP4 video mode (rather than SD motion JPEG), a larger LCD, and twice as much built-in memory. Other than that, nothing too special here, but a good price for a P&S with these specs, circa 2010.

As for the SX120, it has been called best in class for it's photo quality, but the price it pays in it's sluggish performance may cause some pause.
I think if you have the time, you should wait until a few more reviews come in on the O7040. But if not, it may be worth taking a chance on.
