Olympus Stylus 710?

[tinker&belle]

Does anyone have any experience with the Olympus Stylus 710 or 810 (the 810 is similiar, just 1 more megapixel). We are considering buying this camera. I am interested in the bright capture technology and the image stabilization. Also, in the store, it seemed pretty easy to use?

So- Does anyone have experience with this camera (or olympus in general) ?We were considering canon before, but we heard many warnings about the LCD and some code that the camera pretty much shuts down. Anything like this for Olympus? We were considering buying the 4 year extended warrenty from Best Buy for 60. We don't typically buy these, but for many compact cameras we have heard horror stories. Any insight would be great.

Olympus in general:

Used C8080WZ (highest end at the time in October 2004), C7070 and C7000. While the picture quality is fantastic, the low-light auto focus capability is were virtually non-existent and high ISO capability (ISO400, so not that high) were atrocious.

I hope they've fixed all that, especially because the "bright-capture" technology is essentially just an automatic ISO boost. So if their high ISO is still atrocious, you can only imagine how your picture will look like (although you possibly won't see the problem as much at 4x6 prints)
