A new camera model from Olympus boasts “style and muscle”, the maker claims.
According to Olympus, the camera can avoid blurring in action shots or when the camera shakes with its Dual Image Stabilisation technology.
It was also praised for its “huge zoom” of 37-260mm – which the company said made it well suited for “spontaneous close-ups”.
The camera is available in silver, black or cyan green and is available this month
An Intelligent Auto mode detects popular photographic sights, adjusting the settings automatically to improve the shot.
Olympus’ Stylus 1030SW model was recently praised by PC Magazine for having “terrific image quality”.
The camera was also described as “rugged and waterproof”.
On the flipside, it was also found to have shutter lag and to take a long time to recycle between shots, as well as requiring xD-Picture Cards, which are restricted to 2GB storage.
Overall, the magazine recommended it for high quality pictures in any weather or terrain, but warned it was not suitable for those seeking speed.
