my e-10 has taken a complete shit even after having the firmware upgraded. has a problem with finding focus, now its completely going down the shitter. i would get the nikon without a second thought, much better cams than olympus. i have a cheap ass nikon coolpix 885 and i prefer that over the e-10. as far as the battery life, just get a few rechargeables and you have nothing to worry about.
