Olympus develops a slightly slower, but lot cheaper version of the C-3030 Zoom. (Looks like a great bargain!)

More Information
Notes & Features: External flash connection is Olympus-proprietary, adapter needed for use with standard flash units. C-3000 is a trimmed-down version of the C-3030: Less buffer memory, slightly slower shot-shot, less software, smaller memory card. Great deal though!
