I have a Sony DSC F505v that is wonderful. The macro is fantastic. The
battery lasts very well - i recently went skiing for a week & only
recharged
the battery once & i used the camera every night capturing 'special'
moments
in the pub!
The only problem is the delay of about 1second from pressing the shutter
button to the camera taking the shot - this means the camera is crap for
moving objects, however i use it at work almost everyday to take very close
pictures

I have an Olympus 3030 ... I know that Li has a Nikon 990 ... I was going
to
suggest that we did a comparison of the two at some point as I've never
been
convinced of one's superiority over the other (except for the Nikons' 2cm
macro capability).

Unfortunately my love of toys means that I'm thinking of suggesting selling
my 3030 to my partners uncle and buying an Olympus E10 instead.
