Now, I, personally, would not get either one of these and here's why.

**Disclaimer - like I mentioned, the macro feature was extremely important to me, it may not be that important to you. I, personally, prefer the Canon brand, but that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with Olympus. Just my personal preference.

Good luck and I can't wait to see all the new pics of your babies!
I agree, I wouldn't get one of these either. Why? I bought a digital camera very similar to this for my first digicam. It satisfied me for a short time, but then I wanted a better camera that I could get better pics with.

Don't be misled by the megapixel confusion. Like eveyone has said, you probably don't need a high number here.

Also, there's only digital zoom on both of these, no optical. This was VERY important to me. (mine has a 10x optical zoom) It makes all the difference in my pics.

I prefer Olympus (I have the c740), but not these models.
