Hi F I think that I was one of the ones that recommended an Olympus. I have an Olympus C-2500L. It has through the lens focus in a SLR format so you will not have any parallax effect that you would with the Coolpix. That is a real issue if you are trying to get up and close with a fossil. There are pictures and a review at: http://www.digital-camerastore.com/olympusc2500.htm Suprisingly it seems to be still a current model despite my having bought it a year and a half ago.
