Get a better camera. Most, if not all, digcams are cheezy pieces of
junk.
People buy all the P&S digcams (BTW a dealer here calls them Pigs in
Sh*t
cameras because they profit margins are so high on them and quality
is so
poor) and they just cannot cut it in comparision to film.
Huh? Cut it in what way? I can't tell if you're serious or joking. The
Canon S-series are very fine P&S cameras, as well as being very
well-made, better than many film cameras. So too are the Oly C-Series
or D-Series cameras. Don't blame good cameras for incompetent usage by
the "photographer".

Bill maybe overstates it, but you have to admit if you read any of the
test sites that actually test lenses that most of the digital cameras
including some of the ones you mention have a level of color aberration
that would not be acceptable in an OM lens. People like to say,
including Olympus, that it is the sensor, but the tests of the digital
slrs with traditional film lenses pretty well put that to rest. The
lenses on the Canon S series are pretty good, but the pricier G3 has a
lot of purple hanging around in the highlights, as do most of the
Olympus cameras. Whether it is important to your usage is another thing.
