It is indeed a sister camera of Optio S: http://www.exilim.jp/ex_z3/index.html where you can see the same SMC Pentax Zoom Lens logo in front. Some other facts not mentioned in dpreview article: - I don't think it can do raw tiff capture. To some idea of how much compression was done, the best "fine" mode of 2048x1536 creates approx 1.6MB files; "Normal" mode: 1.2MB; "Economy" mode: 630k - Lens SMC f=5.8-17.4; F2.6-4.8 - Minimum focusing distance: normal mode 40cm Macro mode: focus from 6cm - 50cm - Shutter speed: 1s - 1/2000 - Movie mode file size: 130kb/second; 30s max per movie. -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4--
