Since the zoom quality was not a high priority for me, I didn't really think
of that. I believe your store was correct about the value for the price,
however, thats only true if it meets *your* needs... The best part about the
line of Olympus C-3* cameras is the good quality of the lens, a part whose
importance cannot be overrated and is often forgotten in an increasingly
digital world. The minimum focal length in macro mode was one (of many) of
the important considerations in my selections.
I have always imagined that someday I will take that digital photo of an iris
worthy of blowing up to 11x14 so I really wish that Olympus would do what
Cannon did and make their top-of-the-line digital be able to use all the SLR
Olympus lenses... Ohhh, yes, put a $600 macro lense on an E series Olympus
digital, yummy!
