you coulda got a digital slr for that discounted price you paid...an old one...but still
the Same camera I have is down to $400 these days
Looks like one of the best cameras you can get without going d-slr though

Olympus, eh.. i really dont like them any more..
Cannon or Nikon for me.
But this was a great deal. and its a Kick *** camera. Check out the TV 360* View thing under the Pics.
I ordered it on Saturday and today i went and looked... $500 wow i got a good deal
it was only 55$ then the S3 IS

olmpus has their share of crappy cameras (cheap ones), but their high end is much better for the price than canon that I've seen.
on the camera you bought, the sample photos look very good for a non-dslr

if i had 1,200$ and also had $400 for a Video camcorder i would have got a SLR
But i wanted something better then my PS A520 and something that takes good videos.
The S5 IS takes VERY good videos in Stereo and as you can tell the photos are very good also.
Trust me after seeing my Brothers SLR XTi on saturday, i really want one. but its WAY out of my price rang for a while now :(
this will hold be over for a few years

Why does everybody think only SLRs take great pictures. Sure they do but I have seen many cheaper digital cams lately that rival thier prints.

More information between the sensor differences:

Regardless, I do hate the fact that my slr does not do video.....
SLRs do have other disadvantages too besides the price, It fit my needs but does not the majority of the populations needs.

Hans. not true. By the sounds of it. the Lens that comes with the XTi sucks
Every says just buy the body... then get a 400+$ lens...
But yeah.. Shadow, trust me. SLR takes WAY better pics then any non SLR.
after seeing my brothers pics in full rez its amazing

I'm not a fan of Olympus DSLR due to their poorer high ISO noise performance and the quirky four thirds sensor / lens system. But they're decent bang for the buck.
Nor am I a fan of the S5 IS. Gimme the G9
Hot shoe for flash, RAW mode, Canon'* top notch point and shoot. But for the money, I'd have a DSLR, a Nikon D40 is the same price
edit: Ryan, the 18-55mm kit lens that comes with the XTi doesn't suck. If it did, then the 18-250 Tamron is worse.
