Olympus throws in the towel....on quality

And becomes a purveyor of PURE garbage. Kodak-looking, Sanyo-built
TRASH. It is so sad what has become of this company's products,
especially the C-series cameras.

15 fps burst rate? What does it do, just take 640x480 video and throw
out every second frame?

Do I have to pre-read these things for you? g Actually,
there's some imPressive Press release info. Burst mode captures up
to 20 1.2mp images at 15fps and up to 15 3mp images at 7fps. Only 7
full sized 7mp images at 1.2fps. I don't count on its ISO 5000
being able to produce anything but *bad* images, but maybe that
means that when used at ISO 800 they'll be useful.

Not terribly impressive spec wise, but I am not sure it's worth a
vicious attack off specs alone.

I do wish it appeared to have the same level of build quality as
the old C-5050, but still, it may end up being a bit of a
suprise.

But it would have to be pretty good to beat out the Canon S3
