Olympus Cameras - similar / consistent results from most of their cameras?

Olympus unfortunately no longer make good compact cameras
such as the 5050.

Thank you for the well throught-out reply. I too lament the
apparent drop in quality.

Thanks for the tip on the...

The Canon S5 IS may be a better choice. If the flash is too
weak for your needs at least you can use a flash on the hot
shoe.

That may be a decent option. The addition of a hot shoe is...

Appreicate the reply.

I wish the C5050 was indicative of the level of quality they had
maintained. It has been a wonderful camera. If it had an 8x or
higher zoom, I think I'd be content to live...

Thank you

I just moved from a C-50 to a Stylus 780. Gave up manual mode
and an optical view finder but went from 3x to 5x zoom, 5MP to
7.1MP, much larger LCD screen, and it fits easily in...

I have an Olympus C5050 and find it has been one of the very best
cameras I have ever owned. I think the picture quality is
outstanding and it almost never has red-eye. Colors may not be
as warm...

Any Canon S5 IS reviews out yet?

Thanks for that info.

I have to admit, I'm not too impressed at all.

I swear, my Olympus C5050 takes better pics by far than that
thing seems to.

Maybe I'll have to give up my quest for an 8+mp...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 - worth it, even with proprietary battery?

Maybe - but hey, I like AA batteries. I'm not hurting anyone, so
why should people care?

I like standard batteries that I can pick up in just about any
shop while on vacation should my batteries run out.

Not clear why the battery is a prime consideration. Few...

It seems to have both a high resolution EVF (201,000 pixels) and

It may be a personal preference, or some folks may just see
things differently, but in general, I think 300 dpi of
resolvable detail seems to work well for most, including me.

I go for 300 ppi / dpi if I can get it, but find that anything
below 240 ppi / dpi starts to look a bit degraded to me for
normal distance viewing.

What P&S Super Zooms have 205,000-230,000 pixel EVF's?

Looking if someone out there may have a list of non DSLR Point &
Shoot Super Zooms (say 8x or better?) that use a higher density
EVF with at least 205,000 pixels, maybe up to 230,000?

If you do...

As was also pointed out by Dean K, if it's for practical
purposes, after downsampling to 100ppi re-upsample to 300ppi
or so before sending, so the detail is equivalent to 100ppi

EVF - is 115,000 enough? Or is 205,000-230,000 really what is needed?

Just don't want to make the move to DSLR is all. Prefer a
permanently affixed lens matched to the sensor.

Most of the DSLR cameras on the market can be made to "rock"
in the same way.

Kodak P series has all of that except the AA batteries - why

with the lithium-ion battery in my P850 - and I have a spare.

Paul,

You can manage with "115K", but the VGA resolution EVF in the
Minolta A2 (advertised as "900,000 pixels") was much nearer to
something which provided a comfortable view. I find that...

This must be a troll as you don't need 5-6 megapixels for a
4x6.

Unless you like to crop a lot. :)

My 5mp Oly C5050 prints decent 240 dpi 8x10's, but I would prefer
to get an 8mp so I can get the full 300 dpi at 8x10. I think
that is about as high as I feel I "need" to go. Anything above
