I know it is discontinued but does anyone have one or have any views on it? I can't seem to find any threads on here about it so clearly wasn't that popular.

I played with one today in a store and actually quite liked it compared to some of the other bridge cameras on offer

Look for SP-100 videos on YouTube. Its strength was its red-dot (gun-type) sight. One person reported it broke very quickly. Another person demonstrated fast focusing on the SP-100 as opposed to slow focusing on the Nikon P900.

Also check the specs in the 'Cameras/Olympus' drop-down menu.

The fact that the SP-100 id not get much coverage here only means that the few still frequenting this forum did not go for it. They also don't go for my choices of pocket travel zooms.
