I bought my trusted Olympus SP-550 UZ back in 2007 and it has been a great camera which I've brought with me everywhere with thousands and thousands of photos as a result. It still works, but the battery hatch is not as trustworthy, the rubber parts have fallen away, and the zoom doesn't move as smoothly anymore. I'm considering finding a replacement, not immediately, but at some point in the future and I definitely haven't yet decided what would suit me best.

As a rule, I prefer not to have a heavy camera, since I find it difficult to hold it still the heavier it is. I would, however, want an even better lens/zoom this time. Browsing the Internet, I think the white Olympus PEN E-PL5 seems interesting and the reviews are generally in its favour. At some point in the future... perhaps.
