Notes & Features: Rear-panel LCD is a touch-panel with gesture support - for example you can mark an X on an image to delete it, or an O to rotate it. Also has "hidden" secondary low-res 1.5", 61,000 dot LCD touch panel on front of camera which is used as a viewfinder for self portrait modes, and can also show a timer countdown, the camera's key settings, a "Smiley" prompt for the Smile Shutter feature, or an animation to attract a child's attention and have them look at the camera. Has 1GB buffer memory and MAESTRO image processor, allowing burst shooting at 1.5 fps for at least eight Raw images. Raw+JPEG mode can optionally store Raw files to CompactFlash and JPEG files to SD card. Has no low-pass filter, with moire instead being removed solely by software. Top panel includes a color Organic LED status display. Die-cast magnesium body is resistant to dust / splashing water.
