One neat thing about the Olympus that I mentioned previously is that it can take video, where an SLR can't. But the videos are HUGE, and not the best quality compared to a proper digital video.
I was amazed at how cheap digital camcorders have gotten lately. This was only about $300-400. We pay more than that for one SLR lens. There are some things that are just better on video.
A hidden benefit of this, at least to me was that it can take a (small) 1 MP still photo, optically stabilized, at 30X zoom levels. That is expensive with an SLR. It just so happens to take SD memory, just like the Pentax and Canon do. Since it is only about 1 MP or so, I just put the cheap 16 MB card that came with the Canon into this.
