Olympus SP-700: 6 megapixel shooter with 3-inches of good LCD lovin'

By Thomas Ricker

Not to be outdone by the Sony's DSC-N1, Olympus announces their 6 megapixel SP-700 which also features a massive 3-inch LCD screen. However, unlike the 8 megapixel N1,
the SP-700's LCD is not touch sensitive — but hey, who wants to grub about on the display (and consume battery power)
if the camera's got a decent set of controls anyway? It features a 3x optical zoom, 11MB of internal memory with xD-Picture Card expansion, VGA recording at 30fps, and a Compare and Shoot function which allows you to "compare results before re-shooting." Not sure what that is exactly but we'll find out soon enough —
the SP-700 will drop in time for Christmas.
