I have been in photography for about 15 years, using Minolta X-700's - doing weddings, Snapshots, Nature photos, and I wanted a digital camera.  Looked at the olympus D460Z, pictures were a little flat. The Kodak Website  had sample photos which were very nice. Almost looked as good as My $700  Minolta camera!  I was sold.  Bought one, used it already for over 150  Photos and am very impressed. Quality is A-1 and ease of use, my wife,  computer challenged can use it and transfer pictures! Not a bad camera!  Macro is not like other cameras within this price range, but other features  and quality well make up for that shortcoming.
