The 2.0 lens is also useful for low light. The output is very acceptable to me. Shutter lag is not a problem; you just have to focus first. It has two custom setting, one of which I have set for infinite focus manually, so there's no waiting. I think I saw on a post earlier this week that Ted Grant has one and uses it successfully to capture his grandchild's basketball endeavors. If I'm wrong, forgive me Ted. I'm very please with the camera's electronics, optics, and output for what I use it for. I do prefer the solid feel and wonderful sound of my M's however :-) Bob - --- Stan Yoder <vze2myh5@verizon.net> wrote: > OK, the Canon G5 and Olympus 5060 have been > mentioned here recently as having merit.
