That's just coz I concurOlympus - agreed
...also correct on the zoom issue, optical is better.
Sony can have some quality lens as many can.
I have had 3 Canons, not bad but the more recent ones are very slow between shots and this is very annoying after awhile (2-5 seconds).
I also have a had Sony - very good lens but you are really paying for a name.
My colleague who is a professional photographer for kitchen magazine layouts prefers Olympus. He did tell me to stay away from Pentax however YMMV.

for good reasons.
I've tried (read: owned) several Casio, Olympus, Pentax, Panasonic, Kodak, Ricoh, Fuji, even HP. None of which I would consider as "decent". The closest thing to decent are various Pentax dSLR. The consitently good ones are always Canon and Nikon. This is coming from someone who uses 4 to 6 different digital cameras each year since 1998.

Which Olympus does he use? I've tried the E-300, E-330, E-500 and compared to even the lowly Canon 30D they are all a big joke. Shutter lag, noisy picture galore. Pentax, especially the K10D is actually better than E-500.
I have the E-500. There is no shutter lag unless you go into extreme fractional seconds. The zoom included 50-150 is awesome. The occasional noise is when the lighting is bad, but I think most cameras would struggle with that.monkeychan said:
