as far as i have heard, olympus makes good quality digi cams, but don't take my word for it since i have never actually used one. i have however had the opertunity to play with some kodak, sony and HP digi cams. the sony's are very nice, but as usual, very pricey as well. the HP's are starting to get better and take good quality pics from 3 mega pixels up. the kodaks and are my personal favourite out of the three brands. i used to have an old 1 mega pixel kodak and must say, for how old the camera was, it toke some really nice pics. my sister recently got a newer kodak digi cam and that takes really nice pics as well. i also know a few people that own fugi finepix digi cams and are satisfied with them.
