I have an Olympus SP, which has probably the best lens Oly put on
any of their fixed lens cameras (a seven element "G Zuiko"). It's a
lovely camera, and a superb lens - for fast action street shooting it's
terrific, with its AE spot-meter and very bright rangefinder patch.

The Trip isn't exactly in that league, but it's still a nice camera by
scale
focus P&S standards.


My favourite was the 35RD with shutter priority AE and an f/1.7 lens.
Unfortunately, it met its end in an impact with a concrete slab. :-(


Ouch! The RD is a fair bit smaller than the SP, and I think the lens was a
six not a seven element. Did it also have the metered manual option that
the SP has? I know only the SP had the spot meter, but wasn't sure about
the other differences. If I didn't have a Konica Auto S3 as a small and
light shutter priority camera, I'd probably be tempted by an RD. But then,
I probably have too many cameras already...
