Although many people are recommending Olympus's cameras, I personally find them to have terrible ergonomics. They may be fine if you're used to a (...)

(And if you don't like the swivel, the Nikon 800 is still a nice camera -- most (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
