I have an Olympus D450Z and am really liking it. It's macro capability
isn't as good as the Sony, but probably as good as most of the rest of
the $500 cameras. It also has a 3x optical zoom. One thing I am really
starting to like about it (which makes it extremely usefull for the
other thing I will be using a digital camera for) is it's ability in low
light. They claim an equivalent film speed in excess of 4000 (don't
remember the exact number off the top of my head). This allows the
camera to take real nice pictures indoors without a flash (useful in
churches and other "no flash" settings). I took some pictures at a
church service recently from the back of the room. The pictures taken
with my point and shoot film camera came out terrible (using 400 speed
film, and flash [lots of other people were flashing so I didn't feel
guilty at all), the pictures from the digital camera came out quite
well, and not all were taken with flash.
