Great low cost DSLR camera
Strengths: Price, lightweight, small in size. Batteries last a long time.
Weakness: None that I noticed.
This is a great beginner DSLR camera. It uses both CompactFlash and xD memory cards. I don't see why anyone would use xD memory cards since their maximum capacity in 2GB compared to 4-8GB for CompactFlash. Although this camera has a live view feature I find myself rarely using it since it takes longer. It's still a nice feature to have if you need it. Also the LCD is 2.7" which is a nice size...

Look at the expert reviews.
Strengths: Features, image quality, size, lens choices.
Weakness: None to date.
All I have to say is click on the expert's reviews. This camera has been phenomenal. Think about having a camera that is the size of a compact camera, but gives you all the same abilities has a full size D-SLR.

Move Along
Strengths: Cheap, small
Weakness: Lens selection is shallow, not sturdy, slow
Why bother with this brand when there are so many nice Canons and Nikons? That is what I finally decided after buying this and trying it for a week. Olympus used to make great SLR's, but their Digital SLRs are so far behind the curve that you shouldn't bother.
I stepped up to a new Rebel XSi and I love it.

Pretty good
Strengths: Great pics, uses compact flash(cheap), great beginner camera for the right price.
Weakness: wish it used SD(cheaper still), Panaroma feature locked to XD cards only.
I'm writing my review based on the fact that mine cost me $314 with the lens included. If i'd have to pay full price i'd still go with Canon no questions asked. But for the price I paid I think it's a really good camera. The images are really nice and for a beginner DSlr user...it's very good. The only thing i have to complain about it the fact that Olympus locks it's panaroma feature unless you...
