You don't want a cheap one but for the price you want to pay you should do ok. Get from someplace that will let you take it back if you don't like it.
Test is on inside and outside shots.
Close up and far away shots.
And what ever way you will use it to see how they look. What is nice you don't have to buy rolls of film to do all your testing and wait to get the prints back.

So read the reviews and read this here.

Ya right most of the info. means nothing to me.
But you do still get some info. that you can understand.

My sister's was this one.
http://computers.cnet.com/electroni...=st.ce.6613935-1302.pdtl.6613935-1304-1713019

So I guess the 490 you are talking about is this Olympus D-490 Zoom.

It about the same.
The Olympus D-490 Zoom may be pocket-sized, but it sure is loaded. Priced at
approximately $499 ($100 more than the popular D-460 Zoom), you get almost double the
pixel resolution and a cool QuickTime Movie Capture mode. Is that enough to entice you to
spend the extra money on this upscale model?

The size is real nice and I like the way the camera closes over the lens. I takes good pic's too.

WAIT MRBEE and look here.

The Olympus D-510 Zoom has a slightly smaller and lighter body than its predecessor, the
Olympus D-490 Zoom, but it outweighs the earlier model in both features and functionality.
Surprisingly, the D-510 Zoom is even easier to use than the earlier offering, thanks to a
revamped menu and streamlined controls.

It's really the same one but you have a lot lot more. Plus USB connection, Bigger SmartMedia cards can be added. The price is about the same here at cnet too. You know you can get it less then the price here too so that good.
