Stylus Verve: Neat little camera

When looking for a digital I had two criteria Compact size & good picture output which the Verve had. At 3.74 x 2.18 x 1.08 inch it's small and fits comfortably in you shirt and pants pockets.
The images are very good for this class of compact camera (if you want excellent image quality than look at the mid and large size cameras). The images are clear and good with very little corner blurriness and no purple fringe. The white balance was very good most of the time, images had overall good color. Don't just take my word for it look at the sample pics at various camera review sites and compare them to the Canon SD300 or the Pentax S4/4i (all are 4MP and compact camera with similar price). IMHO the SD300 had a soft misty image at times and purple fringe which was why I purchased the Verve over the SD300. Overall the Olympus Verve is a good compact point & shoot camera.
