Great for outdoor shots, poor indoor focusing

This would be the perfect camera for most, if only it had a focus assist light. Noise if very high for indoor shots, epecially if you leave it on auto. This is a camera that requires you know alot about iso, focusing methods (such as spot focusing) and setting the contrast (this camera uses a contrast focusing system). The less light you have, the longer it takes to focus. Shutter lag is excellent for daytime, outdoor shots, and much slower with low to moderate light. Due to Olympus using a contract TTL system, adjusting the contrast to -1 really helps, as well as setting the metering to spot. Also setting the sharpness to -1 helps with noise. A flash is a must for indoor shots, provided you can get the camera to focus lock. A bigger xD card is a must...The 5060 is a much better camera, but costs $...more.
