    Need HELP getting an ultra compact camera

    Need HELP getting an ultra compact camera

    but i'm not confident of olympus' picture quality.. ;p so i think i will still prefer cameras from fuji, canon, nikon or pana (just scraped it off my list cos of its ridiculous service charge). unless the olympus meets all my requirements such as ultra compact and slim, 5x or more zoom, good...
