This is a great camera. I previously used the D-460 and was ready to upgrade to something with more resolution. The C-700 has been a joy to learn. The 10x zoom with Olympus' wonderful optical quality lens take great pictures. Be sure to try the auto braketing feature - it's fun and provides additional clarity in low-light conditions. The camera is compact and light and fits nicely in the Tamrac Digital 6 camera bag. I purchased the lens adapter and filter kit with the intention of protecting my lens and have been very happy with this setup.
