1. I go With Olympus 100% Better Camera All The Way Through... HP = Bad Camera.... good computers tho!
2. my personal take is canon generally would edge out olympus for value and quality. check out both brands though and compare models/features and results between the brands in your price range. fyi - in a googlefight canon is 405M to olympus 145M
3. Olympus would be best. Samsung give lot of sophisticated options but the result will be better in Olympus
4. Canon make the best camera overall, especially in point and shoot, they in the lead for sure. Olympus might look good in the paper, but don't mean they are better camera, biggest downpoint for olympus is they image quality is not in the same levels as nikon or canon. Plus Olympus point and shoot are too pricey in my opinion. Canon is the choice!
5. It really depends on which model you are comparing. Which level of Point and Shoot, Prosumer, or DSLR? The top 2 review sites in my book are DPReview and Steve's Digicams. Both sites provide comprehensive technical reviews. They even provide side-by-side comparisons. For instance the Olympus E-500 is compared to the Canon Rebel XTi. The Canon barely edges out the Olympus in image quality, and when I say barely it's because the Canon does better in higher ISO's. But for features and controls, the Olympus surpasses the Canon. Read the reviews carefully and completely. Saying Canon is better then Olympus or saying just the opposite, is not very realistic or objective- it all boils down which two specific models are being compared. Each manufacture builds excellent models and each has built their share of dogs. I recommend to stay away from review sources that build ratings based on user reviews because they are about as inaccurate as it gets.
