Probably only 12 hours after i got paid on Friday I was at Best Buy scopin the scene. I would have gone back to Wolf Camera in the Castro but while I was searching for a nice point and shoot, theirs were too nice. The high end of the price range i was going for was their low sooo. . . .
BUT I didn't settle! The one I got was on sale but it is actually a better camera than the Kodak and Sony I was considering. According to me and some sort of ranking system I made up the brand quality order, from lowest to highest is Kodak, Olympus, then Sony and right in the middle is a place I'm happy to be for now.
Anyway, time to reveal my decision:
ta da!
Olympus FE 4010!!The Olympus website says it is a *new* style, but out of the list of fes it is one of the least impressive . . . but in its price range fantastic!
12 mp, which I would not let myself be without (despite the temptation of a $250 underwater 10 mp . . . ) and a wide angle lens built in with 4x zoom capabilities, while everyone else had 3. Lots of features and flower macro settings and party mode, so its lookin pretty solid so far for what I need it to do. I'm not used to working with flash though and have a tendency to turn it off because it looks bad on the lcd but once they're blown up on the computer it looks fine -- I need to learn to trust in the camera!
