Hello Friends
Im buying a new digital camera figuring its time for a change from my old Canon SLR.
Im looking at the new Canon S5 IS and the Olympus 550 UZ. Im a simple point and shoot kind of guy.
While the Canon seems to have everything im looking for, the Olympus has the extra zoom as well as wide angle and a guide feature which you punch in the situation and the camera will tell you how to set it up, which is helpful for a hack like myself. If someone has any experience with either camera Id appreciate some feedback..................S.B.

i've only looked at the is5, but decided on a panasonic fz8 with the leica lense. great camera with lots of features, super light weigh and cheap.
