Good News, Thank You!

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.

Excellent. I have memories of walking home with the C-750UZ lens open, because I had lost track of the charge state in my spare batteries (Eneloops came later).

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.

Strong wind does mask the zoom noise a bit on my SZ-30MR. But the whirring sound reduces the volume of the recorded wind.

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

That suggests no old firmware is being recycled in the SP-100EE.

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

The Stylus 1 has been reported of dying with the lens open, and the custom exposure settings have to be re-entered from scratch, since the saved custom entries cannot be edited. Both these features were found in my C-750UZ bought in 2003.

The Stylus 1 zoom makes a whirring sound as demonstrated by CC, also heard on my SZ-30MR from 2011.

Your answers do show that no old crud is being dished up again with the SP-100EE. It is tempting.
