Thanks Hans, what an excellent web page.
No continuous drive on the IS-30 and the 52mm filter
size are also big negatives to me. But it does have
predictive AF - as you say, decisions decisions.

Subject: RE: [OM] IS-3 versus IS-30
:All this talk about the IS series
Now don't exaggerate; there has been far more talk lately about H*f* than
about iS ;)
:has whetted my appetite to give one a try.
Alright!
:Would anyone care to compare and contrast the IS-3 with the IS-30.
Well Everything You Want To Know About iS But Were Afraid To Ask For
can be found at my iS page

:I like the wider angle lens available on the IS-30
Agreed - that's sorely missed on the iS-3000 - true wide angle w/o the need
for a WC
:and feel it is probably a better zoom range for me.
:The IS-30 is also cheaper and more compact.
OTOH the iS-3000 gives far more control of photographic parameters, a more
accurate DX decoding, a more powerful flash, a nice Macro Mode, continuous
drive, longer tele setting and a 300mm TC.
Decisions, decisions. Why not buy both? ;)
