Olympus mju range - any thoughts ?

Hi chaps

Currently have an Olympus mju 410 camera but looking to upgrade to a newer model in the range.

A colleague is looking to buy my current camera - but how much for ?

This upgrade was prompted by seeing the increase to a 6 megapixel version which offers low light improvements (something which blights my current camera), which was at a good price (sub £100), however I have also seen a 7 and 8 megapixel version.

Has anyone any experience of these cameras ? Don't want to be rude, but not really interested in a 'have you thought of such and such' debate, as I wish to still use the xd card format - which seems to limit the options to Olympus and Fuji cameras (unless of course there are equivalent / better Fuji options).

Oh, and not looking to spend an absolute fortune - main reason for changing is the larger resolution, larger lcd screen, lowlight capability (i.e. concerts / football matches at distance) and image stabilisation.

Many thanks...

Avoid the Olympus 600, other models seem fine, take a look at the Fuji 30, excellent in low light conditions.
