The Olympus Stylus 720 is an excellent digital camera. I have taken over 4000 pictures with mine since getting it in April 2006. It's light and shoots well under most conditions. I am into photography and like the Olympus brand since owning an Olympus C-5000 film camera. Naturally when I wanted to move to the digital world I opted to stay with Olympus and it has not let me down. I have the 7.1 Megapixel one with a 1 GB XD card. If you want beautiful memories this is the camera for you.

My advice is to learn the features of your camera so your pictures come out great. A great picture not only needs a good camera but an educated photographer as well.
