The Olympus IS-5 has a larger, though not longer, 28-140mm lens
(5x). The discontinued IS-3 had a 35-180mm lens (5.143x).
The Pentax you cite has only a 4.17x zoom.


I thought of the iS-3 as well, but didn't dare mention it. So the venerable iS-3 / iS-3000 has
finally been discontinued? Now there are only point & shoot ZLR cameras...

In US markets, anyhow. Perhaps it is still sold in Europe.
The Olympus lens designers are busy on 4/3 system lenses now,
so I doubt we'll see another 35mm IS model.
