Anyone had experience with this camera? I was in Best Buy today looking at the Canon sx260 and the salesman raved about the olympus. (he also liked the canon). The canon has a better zoom, but the olympus a beter light sensitivity. Any real world?

The use is a good pocket camera from soccer games to safari.

Jon,

I have no experience with this particular model from Olympus.

But, from past experience, I don't think they can compare with Canon in quality.

Point and shoot pocket cameras, Canon and Panasonic are tops.

Bridge cameras, there is really only one, Panasonic.

Thanks Saeed, I did take your advice and bought the Canon. I do have to say after a couple hundred pictures (indoor, outdoor, snow, night, fireworks, dog/children running, full zoom) this camera flat out rocks. Just remember and put the wrist strap on (the flash popping up can knock it out of your hand), and read the manual on how it operates.
