Is the Olympus LS-14 the newer version of the Ls-10, and if so, why is the LS-10 so expensive?

It appears to be just the newer version. My LS10 still works like a champ so I really haven't been looking at an upgrade. It look like the LS14 has a lot of new features, ergo, etc... Good luck.

no the only thing I don't like about this camera is how un-user friendly it is. Also it only allows L series lenses and when I was looking in to this camera I thought that it would be beneficial but if I'm going to invest in L Series Lenses I would upgrade the camera as well.

I agree and have noticed that as well. I bought the older version and have been pleased with it. I have also not read complaints about the newer version. It may be as simple as supply and demand or something we are not aware of. You might check review sites just to make sure the version 2 is well rated and then go for it if it's cheaper. The 20MM has been a great lens, I have received compliments about my photo's and 9 times out of 10, it's taken with the 20mm.

I think I am going to opt for the S95, but the DMC-LX5 has just a tad better specs (longer batter life, closer focusing, more frames-per-second, broader range of shutter speed), but the S90 just looks so much better and the front user-defined adjustment ring may just be enough -- all at a lower price.

I, too, share your concerns, particularly since the Canon SX10 has a hot shoe for a flash. No room for filters in the Olympus, and I can place an 8 or even 16 gb sd card in the SX10, as opposed to the 2 gb in the Olympus. However, a 26x optical zoom and 12MP is hard to walk away from, isn't it?

well ernesto, since i am not the seller, i will base my answer on the more common cases, usually, a used camera like this one, comes at least with the strap, the battery and charger, who in this case it is the only specified by the seller, and sometimes, just sometimes with a memory card. i do not think that is for this offer, but, again, it's just my opinion. otherwise, the camera is a great one, you can do almost everything with it! i recommend look for more lenses from olympus.ABOUT THE LENS APPEAR TO COME WITH A 14\42 A MID RANGE ZOOM WHO AS YOU MAY KNOW, IS A VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED LENS EQUAL IN QUALITY TO MORE EXPENSIVE (MUCH EXPENSIVE!)

Thirding the question. Is there any new element and is the optical quality the same? How would a better lens be cheaper than the previous version?

It was quite expensive. Anyone looking at it was probably also looking at the LX3 which has become the reference camera. Now, it can be had for $200 and is a good deal. Same sensor as FX35.

Yes! But this is the old model. You want the new one. This only does 10 pics. New model claims to do 30. (A little less actually). They're not that much different in price so don't buy this one unless you get a deep discount. Edit: It's actually about 30-40 dollars cheaper than the new model with larger capacity now. So just decide which one you want.

I am partial to Canon and am excited to see they are introducing a model in the rugged, waterproof class. I previously used the first generation waterproof Olympus Stylus and after it broke moved to the Pentax Optio W series. It has been a good camera as far as durability, but it just doesn't produce photos like our Canon Powershot SD1000. As far as the post question, I can't wait to see some product reviews/comparisons. Based on my previous experience with the Stylus line, I am ruling out the Olympus. Although right now I am leaning towards the Canon based on previous experience with their products and superior photos. However, the Panasonic offering higher video quality in HD format is enticing.

Yes I bought mine brand new years ago. I did not expect it to be a very good camera as I paid a heck of a lot for it. But I did get to lens with it one close the other far. It is totally computerized but you can do your own shooting if you wish. Here is what I can say about the camera. You would think only 14.2 mp wouldn't give you a perfect picture? Well let me tell you the pictures it gives are way to perfect and I will say I'd like to see you shoot a bad picture! As you won't. I'd buy it and have the best fun you ever have experienced!

I use the case from my old Olympus Stylist Epic along with the neck strap that came with the LX3. The mfr# is 10846 and the B&H; photo # isOLCCQ. Costs around ten bucks or so. Was going to try and find the $100 Panasonic case for this camera; but no longer. Doesn't bother me that the case says Olympus on the front. Just put your extra battery in your pocket.

heres the problem, the newer cameras almost always require faster sd cards, some even recommend you use a class 10 card. Being that you have a 6 yr old camera, you might also own older slower sd cards. The newer cards are no longer as expensive as they used to be. You can find a 32gig class 10 hcsd card for about $30 dollars ( http://www.amazon.com/Memory-Panasonic-DMC-GH2-Digital-Camera/dp/B004HQBQ24/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1401632586&sr=8-4&keywords=class+10+hcsd+card) . This is about what it cost to get a 16gig class 4 card, just a few years ago. so there you go, definitely get a class 10 card from now on, all your newer cameras pretty much need them.

Yeah the biggest complaint for the SX200IS was the automatic flash every time. I'm gonna wait to see if that has been fixed in the SX210IS before I go ahead an order. Looks like a great improvement in every other area!I'm glad I held out on getting my super-zoom point and shoot! Within the last few weeks Nikon, Fujifilm, Canon, and Panasonic all announced their Spring 2010 models. There are some real good options out there!

I don't think the T300 is in the same class as the G10 and LX3, in terms of features and image quality. I'm a Canon guy and I really wanted to get the G10. But it was a marginal improvement over the G9. And the low light performance is still lacking. I tend to shoot a lot of indoor and night time pics, so the LX3 was a better choice for me. But if you're more of an outdoor daylight shooter, the G10 blows the LX3 away. And I have to say that Canon has a better menu system and user interface. The Panasonic UI takes some getting used to. I would highly recommend browsing through Flickr to get an idea of the image quality that comes from each of the cameras. It should help you decide on the best camera for your needs. And Amazon uses automated scripts to adjust pricing. If a Marketplace reseller offers it for a lower/higher price, the Amazon price will drop/increase by X dollars. So if you're looking for the best price from Amazon, it helps to be a little obsessive and check every half hour or so. :-)

I was going to buy this one too, but if the price stays over $400, I'll get the Olympus XZ-1. The main benefit of the S95 for me is price!
