JC, ...
I like that too on my Olympus, ... that and the fact that it's one of the first cameras I ever had where the manual says in the "Care" section, ... to clean off the exterieur, ... rince it under the tap while fonctionning the on/off to make the lense guard open and close !!!! (or something to that effect)I like the fact (on ANY camera) that the lens does NOT move in and out.
Oh,... and Normand, .. I would sure try to go 30 ft to get it back !!!
