I have a choice between the Olympus stylus 710 or the 810. The 810 obviously more money but they are pretty much both the same camera. The 710 is a decent amount lighter which is great. I compared them on the olympus website. I do graphic design, vfx compositing editing and some 3d work. Digital cam is def necessary for me for taking pictures of textures and such. Id like to hear what you guys think. The 710 is 7.1 megapixels while the 810 is 8.1. Both seem very good. Thanks for the help
