I don't know anything about it, but it seems like Olympus have left themselves open for a lot of bad jokes.

"Is it going to be good? I don't know, it's 50/50."

check out //www.dpreview.com/ they had a review of the new 5050. I'm a fan of Olympus' stuff, so this new product seems to a pretty nice. It accepts Smartmedia, CompactFlash, and the new version of Smartmedia.

Canon updated the G2 to the new G3, yet it's still only a 4 megapixel. Whereas, the new 5050 is a 5 megapixel camera. I think Olympus has the 1-up on Canon this time around!

I'm in the market for an upgrade, but I'm so mad at Olympus right now that I don't think I'll consider the 5050 ... 1 month after the waranty on my 490Z ran out, very nasty hot pixels began forming and the problem keeps getting worse. It may just be an isolated problem, but it's soured me on Olympus and I think Canon will be getting my money this time around...
