I have an Olympus Pen and it has been a great midline camera. I was looking at a bit more professional of a model when I found it. I don't have many pics on my newest computer but I will see if I can find some to post. I have some portraits of the kids that people thought were professionally done. I do mostly every day photos with it, but also a lot of landscape/nature photography. It has been dropped a few times so the lens isn't great anymore, and it's a bit slower to switch modes now (it's a few years old at this point.... I take thousands of pictures and usually only get a new camera when the old one is completely worn out... not even functional. For point and shoots that means about a 2 year life span, this has made it twice that long so far and is still going). The shutter speed is fast enough I rarely miss a moment (my biggest complaint with most P&Ss is a slow shutter speed - either blurring the picture or entirely missing the moment I wanted to capture).
I also have a Nikon point and shoot and like it for my purse/diaper bag. It takes decent pictures as well. Not quite the depth of a nicer camera, and no where near the settings, but in motion it gets what I need it to get.
