It offers 1080p video recording (albeit at the less-desirable 20 or 30fps framerates), a larger and higher-resolution LCD screen, and a higher-resolution sensor, but inferior continuous shooting rate and a less-advanced autofocus system, not too mention a heftier price tag.

It's a good solid chunk of a camera, not like the original Olympus cameras that came out in the '70s.... [/quote]

It's not in the budget at this time but I like the 'beginner' features. Hmmm... I will put it on the wish list for B-day.
