Re: Olympus sp-100ee - cant find any professional reviews

Usually, the reason for Olympus cameras not being reviewed is that Olympus is hesitant to make models available for review. In my perception, their marketing people are autistic.

However, the user comments that have appeared so far suggest that the SP-100E is inherently reliable. No hiccups have been reported. The lens retracts and the camera shuts down before the battery goes flat. This is the sort of thing that reviews don't mention.

The zoom and the red dot sight work as advertised. The sensor seems to be the same as that in my SH-50 (and possibly the SH-1 to come soon). As a small BSI-CMOS sensor it does miracles when compared to small CCDs.
