Another feature you might find interesting is the digital 2X zoom: contrary to others it is a high quaity one, with pixel binning to give the full 16 Mpx while cropping.

I'd LOVE to see your source for this creative explanation of Oly's digital zoom function.

Here it is, from the horse's mouth:

When assigned to the Fn1 button, the digital tele-converter function produces a telephoto effect which magnifies the center part of the image by two times. The excellent pixel interpolation performance of the TruePic VI image processor makes it possible to zoom while maintaining high image quality. Using this function allows a 75 - 300 mm super-telephoto lens to provide a zooming range equivalent to 1200 mm on 35 mm camera lenses, making it easy to achieve high magnification.
