Olympus Stylus 840, Do you have one? Do you like it?

[trustknoone]

I'm camera shopping, I have a sony that I despise for lots of reasons, so I really want something else. I have compared and compared and found Olympus Stylus 840 fits my wish list and I found it for $125 (regular $300) but I can't find one locally to touch so I thought I would see if anyone here has one.

Or if you love your camera and it meets my meager criteria recommend it and tell me why you love it.
What I am looking for is, most I want to spend is $150 ,
megapixels don't matter as I'm not looking for large prints,
at least a 5x optical zoom
small size is good (Olympus is 3.8” W x 2.2” H x 0.94” D), Sony I have is only a little smaller but very flat and slick hard to hold steady for pics.

Thanks

I have the Stylus 800 & love it!! It takes great pics & is easy to use. I'm looking for a new camera, too, since they have so many smaller cuter ones now...and when it comes time to buy one, it'll probably be another olympus.

Where did you find it for so cheap??? For that price, I may upgrade for Christmas!!

I have the Sylus 410, an older camera but I love it. I need to upgrade though, and that may be my Christmas present, please tell where you found it for that price.

I not only have one 840 - I have two! Love it. Very easy for point & shoot with good quality and is compact enough to fit in a pocket.

I am a camera junkie, always looking at the cameras wherever we go. I bought myself one in silver when they first came out, then DH saw the pink one awhile later and decided to surprise me. I could be wrong but I'm thinking walmart may still stock them - or did the last time I looked.

Thanks for all the replies, when I went back to Amazon to look at something I found a merchant that had a refurb for 77, so I jumped right on that. I really hope it's as nice as it looks. It was the pink one.
