Only problem with Olympus, in my opinion, is getting things repaired under warranty. We spent a small fortune on one a couple of years ago and the screen blew. We took it to a camera shop in Nice and they said it was due to the constant pressure going in and out of tunnels on the high speed train from Paris - had seen it happen often, apparently. Back home in Canada, they "accused" us of dropping it - think we would have remembered that, eh? Worked my way up the chain of command and they eventually said they'd cover the cost of labour only. Had already spent enough $ on shipping to repair shop, insurance, estimate, etc. Went out and bought another. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!
