i haven't worked in a lab in four years, but the olympus digital range all used to take second rate photos, and be more expensive. Which is sad because their film happy snap cameras were always so good.
Without a doubt i'd go with a canon. In the old days i'd have suggested a fuji if you were short of cash.. But the canon are even so cheap now and the technology has improved a great deal. They've put a lot of work in to their budget and amateur mid range, so when you could now get a basic slr for a few hundred more they need to make the compacts very attractive in order to sell. Price and features. Look for the best optical zoom you can afford, in the compact range. all canon will take great pics.
