The Olympus Stylus 800 is a great compact camera. This camera's main problem is the image softness which is very visible starting at ISO 400. For people taking mostly outdoor pictures, this may not be such a problem. Otherwise, the camera produces sharp pictures with good color. The Stylus 800 also provides several good compromises at 3 megapixel resolution such as increased sensitivity and 4 FPS continuous drive. Cameras in the same categories include the 6 megapixel Fuji E550 and 7 megapixel Canon S70 which both produce sharper pictures above ISO 200.
