I love Olympus cameras, having owned 5 different ones, including a C-765 currently. Optics have always been great but battery life, especially compared to Sony, absolutely sucks. I'm not buying the "630 shots with a pair of AA batteries". Maybe that's with the LCD always off and never using the flash or zoom.]]>Aug 23rd 2006 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/Aug 23rd 2006 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/
I've always liked Olympus cams for the fact they work on any modern OS absolutely driverless (native drag-n-drop), as well as their unique Pixel Mapping feature (as CCDs age, they do develop "stuck" pixels, and this brilliant feature means you don't have to send it back - you simply hit a button and it maps the devective pixel(s)). ]]>Aug 23rd 2006 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/Aug 23rd 2006 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/Aug 23rd 2006 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/Aug 23rd 2006 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/
And theoretically at least, you could use four image elements added up, for a smaller shot,(fifty percent of a 7.1 megapixel yet using the entire ccd for imaging) and catch more photons, ergo, less noise.]]>Aug 23rd 2006 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/23/the-seven-megapixel-olympus-sp-510uz/I walked through the specs but couldn't find a answer.

If it does this might be my next camera.

At the moment I own the mju-810. As mentioned above the high ISO formats mostly result in a lot of noise as I experienced with my mju-810.

Cheers,
