CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
The 20x zoom is fantastic, all the frills like shadow adjustments and face detections works just fine.Another feature called "pre capture" and uses a lower resolution but when you half press the shutter, it take ten photos at once and you get pick which one you like the best after you finished it off by pushing the shutter button all the way down. Weird but if you got the card space and the time to review all ten shots, then its pretty neat.The feel and the construction of the camera is excellent.If Olympus can just work on their user interface and the auto intelligent mode, this camera can rock.
