Here is a photo I recently took with the 750, using the optical and digital zoom. The photo was taken from Hyde Park, Chicago, and shows downtown Chicago with the Sears Tower on the left, the distance is about 9 miles. Shutter speed was 1/400. I wonder if it would have been a lot better with a tripod. I was on the fifth floor of the U of C library, btw. The photo has been resized for better viewing...

I am CPA Jahir and purchased a Second Hand E20 in Peninsula Plaza for S$1100. I am not sure if the price is right. It is just that I liked the cam and bought it as it was a "love at first sight". The first camera that I ever used was my fathers Olympus DC35 (in 1978 if I am right when I was 10 years old). Over the years I have owned many brands of Cameras Nikons, Canons, Minoltas, Konicas even Leicas. This is the first Olympus that I own myself. The feeling is great. Please count me onto the list.
Just got a 5060 yesterday. I had wanted to acquire this cam when I first saw the press release online but somehow I held back when it first appeared on the market. I did not rush to grab one as I wanted to keep my options open and was fortunate not being one of who bought faulty cams as evident in the number of complaints in some forum about it malfunctioning. I found the menu fairly easily to maneuvre unlike many who had never owned an Olympus before and took a longer time understanding the functions. Most of my previous digicams were Canon except for my first cam which was an Olympus 2040. (yay). Maybe this helps. My choice for upgrade was narrowed down to the Canon Powershot Pro1, Panasonic DMC LC1 and Olympus 5060. The Pro1, besides being costly about $1700 (I was told), also have 8 megapixel which I find it too much and do not need. Judging from the review, the Pro1, like its 8 megapixel counterparts in Nikon, Sony and Olympus, suffers from a higher noise and CA compared to lower pixel cams. The Panasonic DMC LC1 is identical in features and performance to its twin the Leica Digilux 2 but cheaper than the latter by a few hundred bucks. I would love to own the LC1 as it has the classic analog feel and the famous Leica lens. The cost of $1650 which is more than I could afford. Besides, the LC1 uses SD card. Would have to start my memory card collection all over again if I had bought the LC1. Like what the saying goes "first love is the sweetest" and finally, I ended up like what I first started with - an Olympus (yay). Will start shooting once I understand all functions. Havent have time as I am busy with work. I just hope that the cam will not die on me like the early batches. Willie of MS Color assured me that it will not as its from a new batch and that they should have rectified the fault (keeping me finger crossed).

I wish to join the list under the c700 series as the pool seems greater.
This is my second digital camera (Oly c740uz). 1st was concord eye-Q. Wanted better color, and ways around many backlight problems(grandson's don't often get on the correct side of the sun or away from the large illuminated windows) Read a lot of reviews after seeing what a Canon A70 could do in a store. I opted for Oly's 10x zoom and customizing options. Now the big job ahead is to figure out how to use the "My" dial, and the one customize button, in relation to my immediate goals. Which are get better than exceptable pics to satisfy myself and dazzle my friends and family. I decided to go better than point and shoot because of my new G4 iBook. I'd like to learn to set the camera for situations that I encounter on a regular basis, such as the back light one. I would like take a lot of outdoor pics,wildlife ect. also photos with a lot of depth for use in making expressive Haiga. I wish this all to be done mostly in the automatic realm.
Why I'm here is I want to shorten the learning curve as much as possible so advice on how to go about this in the most efficient manner would be greatly appreciated if anyone would like to take the time. My camera knowledge is little but growing so if you have any advice please keep it as jargin free as you can. Thanks "The Poemeater"
