Honestly say, the lens on the P&S DC is really bad. My new S-30 has very
poor corner resolution, high barrel distortion from wide up to very close to
the long end. The Olympus C-2000 has high chroma at the corner and the E-10
is only slightly better, but as long as there is no bright spot at the
corner the chroma is not very visible. I don't think any Zuiko or my Mju II
has such poor quality.
