Pros: 5MP, F/1.8 lens, hot shoe, Compact Flash, AA batteries, great value. Cons: None, compared to other cameras in its class, but viewfinder could be better. Bottom Line: Olympus Camedia C-5050 Zoom Digital Camera
Pros: You can use regular AA batteries to power it. Cons: A little bigger than some people might like. Bottom Line: Great - fantastic - must have!
Pros: Clean, versatile, good mid-range alternative to more expensive dSLR kit Cons: Would have liked faster rapid-shot storage, and 6x minimum stabilized zoom. Bottom Line: Olympus C-5050 Digital Camera Sets the Mark!!

Pros: lots of practical features; gorgeous image; raw/tiff format; great ergonomics & a real beauty Cons: tiny, cheap viewfinder; clunky software with no Adobe PS plugin for raw files Bottom Line: Great Camera for those who wish to learn a little about photography and advanced users
Pros: Great pictures, easy to use and because its digital you will snap away! Cons: 3X zoom somewhat limiting, possible to turn on with cap on, not great..you learn. Bottom Line: Definitely a good deal.
