I am looking for a digital camera suitable for general estate agency work any recommendations, key requirements are:
Tough construction
Wide angle lens 28mm equivalent or better
Fast(ish lens)
Good ISO range
Flash suitbale for room size up to 30'
Good battery life
I was thinking along the lines of the Olympus Camedia 5060 Super Wide, any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers

I've got an E10 and I can concurr, it's a beautifully made piece of kit. Metal body etc etc. You can get a Wide Angle converter lens in addition to the standard set up.
It takes AA batteries and Compact Flash cards so it's pretty cheap to run too.
They're coming up on eBay at the moment for around £350. as people are either upgrading to the E20 or the new E1.

Only problem is that you'll want all the OE accessories. 
My latest one arrived yesterday from the US - a corded remore control, how can they justify the £64 price tag in this country?
But it does go with the lenses, batteries, case, battery holder. etc etc. But I would say that ALL of the Olympus gear seems to be beautifully made.

Excellent, we look forward to seeing pix of - er - people's dining rooms...!
Ahh, the hard to capture dining room is a shot I still deam of bagging but will have to make do with the often imitated lounge shot.
Seriously though, just need the wideangle attachment now and I'm all set.

If you're going for the OE Wide Angle lens then you should be looking for:
WCON-08B
In teh Uk You'll be hard pressed to beat these people on price for the Olympus lenses, I bought the TCON-300 for a third of the cost of other UK sources!! But their web site is crap, but that might just be me and Netcape on my Mac.

Good luck
