| Notes & Features: | Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, Smile Shutter, Intelligent Scene Recognition and Dynamic Range Optimizer. Available in silver, black, pink and blue. | Very closely related to RS1000. Only differences are clip-on (screwless) face plates rather than screw-on kind, slightly more internal memory, newer software CD, and slight differences to scene and Auto Picture modes. |
