Re: Olympus SP-100EE Manual Zoom

I've not seen the SP-100EE in person, but from reading the manual, it looks like you are right.  FWIW, the Stylus-1 does have a mode (depending on the FN2 lever in the front of the camera) that you do have manual focusing with the control ring.  However, the Stylus-1 only has 1/3 the zoom of the SP-100EE, and is twice the cost (with the Stylus-1, you do have the FN button that can be programmed to be a toggle for 2x digital zoom, and you can attach the tcon-17x/CLA-13 tele-converter on the camera, so you can get up to 1,020mm equivalent focal length, but it isn't as convenient as the SP-100EE.
