I haven't owned a camera in over a decade. My requirements aren't much - ease of use ranks high though. I've decided on a €400 price point.

I'm considering these two:

Canon S95

Olympus EP-1

What do you think?

If you need a small size camera, then go with S95.

If you like a camera that can change lens, of course go with EP-1.

Thanks. Neither attribute is a requirement for me though. Nor is a lot of features. I'm just looking for the best image quality with ordinary use.
 
My shortlist is now:

Canon S95
Olympus EP-1
Samsung TL500
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

Any thoughts on these?
 
If physical size is not an issue, personally I will choose the EP-1 simply because of the interchangeable lens and larger sensor with less pixel density.

Thanks, I've settled on the EP-1. They're being blown out refurbished for not much money.

I will need a memory stick. What am I loking for - is 8 GB or 16 GB the better deal? What brands are good?
 
iPhone 4.0 take a look at my pix all were taken with that and 10-800mm lens
 
Thanks everyone for the input - I've now bought an Olympus EP-1 with the 14-42mm lens. I've also bought an Olympus Zuiko 40-150mm lens, which to my dismay needs an adapter to fit the EP-1. Can anyone please tell me what's the name(s) of the adapter I'm looking for?
