The Olympus C-350Z is good choice as it's 3MP like the A303, which is larger than the 2MP of the A60.

It offers more manual options over the A303, being able to maniplulate the metering, white balance, flash modes, focusing system, ISO...etc

The A303 can only do ISO 100, 64 segment metering, limited flash modes...and has several functions limited.

The C-730Z also uses cheap AA batteries (x2) but however it's recording media is xD picture card like the A303 which is more costly than Compact Flash in A60.

However getting a high capacity card is only a one-time investment. A 128Mb or 256Mb xD card should be enough.

how much memory does the c-350z come with?

I think it's only 16Mb xD picture card.

Should at least get a 128Mb or 256Mb.
