I suspect this camera will also be on the "slow" side of things, as the brains of the camera are the same.

Not a big deal, but not the camera to use if you want that sequence of shots that shows the jumping tarpon or marlin.

But, for a grip-n-grin in the rain on the OP, it's a great camera.

If anything, I'm just considering it a MP upgrade. I still would recommend any of the Olympus cameras to a fisherman. Indestructible, waterproof, and it just works without the fear of messing up the camera.
