I'm using an Olympus C-5050 Zoom, which is all around pretty good. At full resolution you can see some artifacts in the images, but when do you ever need a 2560 x 1920 image? When resized you can't tell. Other than that, I have no complaints.
You guys still hang out certain nights? I stopped going to that Thursday night thing because I thought it was cancelled, but I heard you guys still get together sometimes or something.
