Um....they call the dual lens camera...that is a clue. One lens does the
wide angle and another does the tele. The user does not select the software
makes it seamless to move from one to the other.

Imaging resource has a review on this camera, quite nifty, the lenses
are internal and sideways in the camera. A prism (or mirror) is what
you see looking from the outside. The problem with the camera according
to IR is that they try to cover the focal lengths between 23 and 39
with digital zoom, or masking the sensor. So at a 38mm equivalent focal
length you have 1.7mp instead of 5mp. Imaging Resource suggested to
turn off that option and use your feet.
