Warren,
this camera actually cost less than the other one did when I got it about 5 years ago, and it has twice the stuff. It is an Olympus 7.1Mp with a 10 power optical zoom and another 297 things it will do that I will never use. I was used to the old one and it's default settings and the average picture size was from 650 to 800 MB depending on background & etc. The default in this one is from 1.2MB to 2MB, so I tried some lower resolutions until I found one that is almost identical to the old one. Another thing I had to get used to was when you set something different it stays where the other one went back to the default when you turned it off. This one has a reset button to set everything back to the default. Also the older one just had a 3 power zoom and I shake so bad that I have to use the tripod for the 10 power even with the anti shake feature on. After that 2 hour class next Friday I will be able to turn it on and off without reading the instructions. I hope!!!
