Design is poor and Canon knows better

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: There are plenty of better options on the market.

Best Digital Camera in class

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Really the best buy for the top end of digital cameras- all the features needed, quality and performance for current street price- nice.
Review: You've reached the summit on digital cameras with this product. I've used Olympus pretty steadily since digital cameras first hit the market. 2.2 MP, 3. MP and 4.40 MP.
