To revisited an often-visited topic... A few weeks ago this topic came up again, which is also about the time I started looking around for a high-end P&S for my dad. I discussed several of the cameras that were mentioned in the last thread, and I pointed him to this article:
http://tinyurl.com/b3lun The article mentions the Olympus C-8080, the current version of that camera is the Olympus SP-550 UZ. So we narrowed it down to the Olympus and the Panasonic DMC-LX2. As far as his concerns are, they are the same, except the LX2 is smaller and $100 less, while the 550 is larger and has a higher max ISO of 5000. And this is where my question comes in... does anyone here have any experience, good or bad, with this camera, and specifically with this high ISO setting. That feature is a major draw for him, I just don't want him to buy it and *then* find out it's crap. He wants something small, but is willing to trade a little size for not having to use flash. Thanks.
