But for me to consider it, I need to know about some issues -

What does the SP-100 so do when the battery runs out? SH-50 retracts the lens before shutting down. My last camera that died with the lens open was the C-750UZ released in 2003.

I let the battery run down today. An empty battery warning came up on the screen, the camera stopped functioning and then the lens retracted and the camera shut down.

Is the zoom quiet in videos? My SH-50 is quiet, my 2-year-old SZ-30MR makes a whirring sound.

Not sure, I have only taken one video, I could not hear any motor noise but it was windy. I will try it again when I get the chance.

Is there custom WB? On the SH-50 the two custom WB settings work still after WB AUTO has given up.

There are two custom WB settings, although I have not used them.

In the SP-100EE I do like the red dot sight and the reach. But if it has ancient hardware and questionable firmware in it, I will be inclined to look at the SH-1 instead.

The red dot sight is great. Not quite sure what you mean about the hardware/firmware.

Hope this helps
