I'm a Nikon man, but...Olympus is THE name is digital. Olan Mills is making the transition from film to digital currently...and going Olympus. Sorry, I don't know the model.

I bought my kids a Casio 3000EX after doing extensive research a couple of years ago. It had just about everything the Olympus had except the price tag...new on eBay for $280. Had problems with the flash, but Casio has a great and quick service department.

Be sure whatever you get has a micro lens...the Casio can focus at 8". I'd rate it easy to use, too. They, of course, have newer models now I'm sure.
