Dammit! I just bought my 770SW a few months ago. Maybe I'll give it to my parents as a replacement for their 2 awful cameras and upgrade to this one.

Finally a camera company that didn't stuff the CCD with more pixels! Hallejebus! Good for you, Olympus, I might give you a second chance since your 35mm days.

I own the 770 and its a great camera for bars, beaches and kids. The pictures are OK but you probably wouldn't get the shot at all otherwise. Hopefully the new processor will help this. It's a perfect 2nd camera to your DSLR or megazoom when you don't want to lug that thing around. I sound like an ad, but it only takes one time for you to be drunk in a bar and accidently drop it in the toilet (pre-use, thank Jebus) and you just just wash it in the sink and you're ready to go again.

If you want high zoom, buy high zoom. This looks to be a great camera for the beach and water park. For $300.00, my only problem will be choosing a color.
