About the same size as the Canon Elph S230, the Olympus C-50 packs a whopping 5.0 megapixels into an 8-oz size. That’s smaller than the Canon S45 and it seems a little easier to use. We got it for $510 + shipping at 17th Street Photo.

Digital Camera Recommendations?
I need to buy a digital camera. Does anyone reading this blog have any recommendations? Ariella and I are going to Italy for a week and a half at the end of the month and we’d like to to take some pictures. In the past, we have been schlepping our 35mm Nikon and getting a […]
