TIME.com's gadget this week is the deliciously multiflavored Olympus Stylus Verve 4.0 Megapixel camera. The reviewer notes that the Verve takes low-light shots without flash and up-close shots with flash better than most cameras in the same class. Don't let those fun colors fool you into thinking this camera isn't without a dark side though - if you aren't using an Olympus-branded xD memory card you won't be able to make use of the panorama features, making this camera a bittersweet symphony indeed.
