| If you're looking for a long zoom lens in a compact camera, then this is the way to go. Not too many digital cameras offer a 10x optical zoom, so this one has little competition in this category. There are enough manual controls to keep the avid photographer happy, but it's easy enough to use for snapshots. | |||||||

xD Card and CompactFlash |
BLM-1 Pack | 4.9 x 3.3 x 3.9 |
| When you want 8.0 megapixels, you don't have a lot of choices. This happens to be one of them. It has two major benefits: first, it lets you use both xD cards (typical of Olympus cameras) and CompactFlash. If you have CompactFlash cards to use with a different camera, you don't have to buy dedicated xD cards to use with this one. The camera also has a very quick recycle rate when you take a photo — this means less waiting around for the camera to get ready for the next shot. Less waiting means you don't miss an important moment. PC World Best Buy for 2004 |
