I have owned the Olympus Camedia C-460 Zoom digital camera for some 10 months now, and I am over the moon with it! Typically it has the renowned picture quality that is associated with Olympus.
Before buying this camera I studied and researched all compact digital cameras available. Originally I wanted the Olympus C750 zoom which was superseded by the C765 and C770 zoom, as I wanted 10 times magnification, whilst every thing ~ the price and all it's features were what I was looking for, the only thing lacking was an image stabiliser, which at that mag' is a must without a tripod, so I decided to wait until that feature was perfected. This is how I ended up with the C-460 ~ a compromise, and boy am I pleased with the choice, even when I do upgrade to, probably by the time I am ready, a digital SLR, I would NEVER part with this little Wizard.
After all the research I have done in relation to digital cameras, I now give advice to numerous folk looking for their first purchase, or even upgrades.
The one thing I would recommend would be the purchase of decent re-chargeable batteries, and always make sure you have 2 spare sets. Also make sure you have an adequate memory card of at least 128MB, preferably 256MB. The only reason I gave an 8 rating for the batteries was down to the fact I bought mid-range batteries, and it is in no way a fault with the camera.
