Digital Cameras

I just got an Olympus c-5060. It supports CF and xD, and has a great wide zoom. It's a little more, but you get a lot.

My friend just bought the Optio 555 for $350 on E-Bay -- when I asked her how she liked it, she replied, "It's great, but I'm too dumb to use it."

This wasn't a really useful post except to say that you can buy it new on E-Bay for considerably less than paying retail and, when comparing between the S50 and the 555, I chose the 555.

I had a similar issue when my dad first got his S45 two years ago. It was tons of fun, but I had no idea what I was doing. Luckily, I know a bit more now, so I know what to look for, I think :-p.

And I've seen the camera for about that price at the cheapest retail outlets. Ebay, sometimes I don't entirely trust it, although it's usually pretty good. And I heard that the 550 had some major issues that were resolved in the 555.
