The Olypus C-5060WZ a cult camera. I picked this camera up on ebay, as I was looking for a wide-angle camera. It was the best decision I made.
When you see photos of the C-5060WZ, you could be forgiven for thinking that its an ugly camera, but don't let it fool you, once you have it in your hands, you will see it is a thingof beauty. Also, it is nicer then the SLRs because their lense sticks out. So it is bulkier. This is a bigger camera, but very manageable to carry around with you. You can also add lens and filters using an adaptor.
Olympus put a lot of love into this camera. They gave it a metal body. They gave it a swivel LCD, so that it can face you. They even they gave it a remote control. So that if you are in a corwded place, you can let the tourists pass and then click the remote when people are out of shot.
They even gave it a real optical viewfinder.
As for picture quality, they are very good. I love the colours on this Olympus. Even tough it is 5MB, it took better photos then my sister's expensive advanced Panasonic Lumix and even someone elses Sony compact.
Just like any new things, this Olympus takes a little while to learn, but you will find that the Olympus C-5060WZ, it a near perfect camera. I think aside from image stabilisation, there is not anything else I would ask for.
on eBay this camera has got every expensive!
