I've got the same one, I love it. It takes great macro shots.

My husband and I have two Nikon D200's (that way we don't have to fight over sharing LOL!!! :wink: ) and we are very pleased with them.

I have the Sony A 100 DSLR. Probably a great camera for someone who knows how to get the most out of it. Too bad I'm not that somone. :lol:

Very nice if you can afford it. Anyone have experience with these?

Snappy, thanks for the reminder. I forgot my camera had a macro setting!

I picked up a reconditioned 770SW from Olympus's e-bay store just before I went to Cuba. I think it's a great little P&S camera, take snorkelling, not worried about the kid dropping it. Won't give you those fantastic macro shots you keep see here though.

Look here for what the 720SW could do on the reef.

I love my Canon SLR cameras I have a 30D 8.2 meg and a digital rebel XTI 10.2 meg with several Image stabilization lenses.

The reason I am looking for a P&S is carrying purposes. I have a large camera bag for my SLR's and It is difficult to carry them around wherever I go as well as I worry about my vehicle getting broken into when my equipment is in there.

Thank you for all the input everyone. It will definitely help me make a better decision.

Hey Stan,

We picked up a Canon SD800IS last April to take on our walk about Europe. It did remarkablely well for the most part. I love the fact that you can take small videos as well. The only two negatives that I noticed was it struggles a little in low light and for the life of me I can't figure out how to take motion or fast action shots..

On the whole its a great pocket camera to supplement your DSLRs.
