My old camera is an old Olympus3030z. Excelent camera for its time, extremely slow startup time, slow focus, lack of color, but awsome image quality

My gripe is this. With it came a cd with drivers and software for moving pictures to the computer called Camedia. It came with version 2.01 or 2.0. Worked pretty good in Windows2000, was never that happy with it, but it worked.

But when I upgraded to WindowsXP it got worse, the software just didnt work at all. After reading about it on the internet and thier website I saw I needed version 2.5. Ok I'll just download it, but no, it was only awailable for ordering... for about 20-30 bucks! I asked around on their forum and quickly saw that loads of people were very unhappy about this moronic decision to make people pay to use their camera on WindowsXP.

Thats the reason why I never ever recomend olympus to anyone (even though I thought about getting the Olympus8080z at one time, went with the canon 350d instead, dont regret it one bit

A card reader is your best friend.

I've read the dimage's are not so hot in low light. I like to photograph lots indoors with low light. I just ordered the s5200 from dell for like 320 shipped. I got me a 512 xd card for now as well.
