Summary: Great features
Review: I have had this camera for over a year and although it has a somewhat complex menu, the control it gives you over your pictures is wonderful. I now really appreciate all the thought that went into the design of the menus.Mechanically it is great after a year with no problems. I use it with rechargable batteries and keep it set for 2 megapixel pictures and great great battery life and it allows me to take 80 pictures on a memory card. I often use this with external lights and after a day of messing around with settings (the manual doesn't help much) found I needed to buy a special flash cabel to connect to my studio lights. The cable allows me to override the internal flash and take very good pictures of kids. I had to go to a professional photo store in Palo Alto to get the cable (could not find it on the Web) for about $30. I rarely use my 35 mm cameras anymore and use this one almost exclusively. I would certainly buy this camera again.

Summary: Great camera with a few minor problems....
Review: The initial reviews for this camera said it was tooo complicated for the average user. Horsehockey. I love this camera, my 9 year old can use it. The pictures are incredible.. I'd certainly NOT get anything cheaper if I was starting out, the price has come down so much. There are now clearly better cameras but for the novice this is excellent. Great flash. Buy more memory, it's cheap.

Summary: still working fairly well after a year
Review: I've had this camera now for almost a full year. It was my replacement for the D600L from Olympus. Negatives: not many. My biggest pet peeve is the battery low indicator is not as accurate as I'd like. The camera actually begins to lose functionality long before low battery is displayed. And the camera goes downhill very quickly. But the symptoms are more like the camera has lost some functionality and not others (inability to zoom but still able to focus). I've just become used to replacing the battteries as soon as I start having any strange issues. Its not as small as I'd like. The D200L was a great size for a camera. This one is still too big for my liking. I'd like to have something that really does fit in my pocket (like the size of my cellular phone would be good. Positives: Get the 32Mb memory card and you can take photos for what seems like forever! Superb low-light capability, good focus, excellent color, fantastic resolution.
