Funny Donna, I have a small compact olympus....I don't use it much as the shutter speed is sooooo slow. I also have a Fuji S3000, takes great bright light but not good low light, I liked it because it was larger felt more like the camera I had been use to. Both cameras are older and only 3meg, but the reason I got the olympus was the fact that they took the same card. I've been leaning towards an slr as I really miss my canon AE1 that my son fried quite some years ago and I never replaced it, it was a fantastic camera.
