After long nights of research I selected three cameras to look at; the Coolpix 5700, the Canon G5 and the Olympus C-5060. The Coolpix was slow focusing in dim light, the 1.5" screen was tiny and had a poor wide angle view. The Canon G5 did not have the

This note is especially for people who don't live in a sunny area: this camera cannot perform well in dim light because its lens is too restrictive. Without an add-on flash, I have found it to be very poor for indoor shots in large rooms and at concer

Comments:
The first time we saw the Olympus C-5060, we thought it a rather odd-looking camera--big and blocky, with lots of odd angles. But the design grew on us the more we used the camera. This model seems bigger and heavier than the C-5050 it's derived from, but

Review Verdict: The C-5060 uses a long-lasting lithium ion rechargeable battery: It still had life when we stopped testing at 500 shots. But the C-5060 doesn't have the same range of battery options as the C-5050, which uses either two disposable CR-3V batteries or four
