Nice! Is this a stitched panorama?

[lornem]

yes, just trying my christmas present out, have a nikon D80, but too bulky with my job, easier to carry new one olympus 550 uz, and leave nikon for serious stuff

I'm expecting my new 550UZ either Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm like a little kid at Christmas! Wait... it IS Christmas! :eek: Sadly, I'm not that young anymore :(

I've been looking at the photos taken with it on Flickr and am astounded. They have a discussion forum devoted to the 550 and 560, did you know that?

the zoom is amazing, and it's what did it for me

I looked at some macro shots a guy on Flickr took (it's his first digicam and he'd never taken ANY macros before) and they were amazing. Then, I saw the zoom shots. Peter put my Kodak Z612 side-by-side for comparison and, on paper, there isn't much reason to switch. But, looking at the specs on Olympus.com there are some things that the 550UZ has that I really want that the Z612 doesn't have. Not many, mind you, but enough. The real selling point was winning an auction for one at $244 right from Olympus. THAT was a steal in my book. I sold my Z612 w/accessories for $250. Now, all I have to do is wait -- and it's killing me!

Great Shot, i am looking forward to attempting the panaromic stitch photo myself. If comes out as well as this shot, I would be very happy.

It is a very nice shot Lornem, very well put together.

No worries, Andy. Just letting Lornem know about the group on Flickr.
