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
