New Olympus ‘is rugged and clever’
27 Aug 2008
A new model from Olympus is as rugged as it is innovative, a new review has suggested.
The Olympus Stylus 1050 SW digital camera has been praised in a recent article for the Indian Tech Gadgets website for its tough exterior and range of interesting features.
It is noted that the Olympus 1050 SW is shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof and incorporates touch-sensitive and motion sensing technology.
Nadine Clark, product manager of Olympus Imaging America Inc said that the purpose behind the model was to offer high-performance features that were easy for consumers to get to grips with.
“Consumers are familiar with motion-sensor technology from popular videogame controls that translate physical motion into electronic commands, she said.
“The Stylus 1050 SW employs similar technology. Adjusting the camera settings is intuitive, because the whole camera reacts to the way it’s tapped.”
The camera features a 10.1-megapixel sensor, is available in blue, champagne, silver and black - and is equipped with shadow adjustment, face detection, smile shot and red eye reduction.
