I agree, Olympus cameras are excellent, and I have a client who uses the 300 model and likes it. The problem is that the flash memory capacity is limited because of the nature of the SmartMedia card. Even though the 300, 400, and 600 models have become quite popular, they are all limited by the low capacity SM card. Nothing wrong with the quality of Olympus cameras, however. I still use the OM-1 I bought in 1973. The reason I don't get something else is the quality of the optics, and in particular, the 90mm f2 macro lens, which I bought used at a price more than four times the cost of the camera body. If I get a digital camera, it will require at least a 64mb card because I take a lot of pictures and want high resolution - at least 2.5 mpixels. Art
