And the bane of photography of small children is slow focus and shutter 
lag.  I second Winsors general comments in this area, although I can't 
comment on these characteristics in the Olys mentioned.  I know that 
focus/shutter response would be at the top of my list for anyone who 
wants to photograph active children.

I have some lovely 8x10s of my grandaughters taken with my little 2mp 
S110. I also have taken lots of shots of them that are failures in one 
way or another due to shutter lag. I would take fast focus/shutter over 
megapixels every time for taking candid snaps of kids. In the choice 
between a little noise vs. subjects in the frame and in focus, I know 
what I choose. Of course for more money, you can win on both.

The Can*n P&Ss I've used , an S110 and an S410, do a really good job of 
producing a pleasing image with nice contrast and color. However, those 
images can often be improved upon quite a bit, although less with people 
snaps than scenics. I understand that at least some Olys do this too, 
but I can't speak from experience about them.
