Olympus introduces SZ-10 superzoom


Olympus today unveils the full-featured SZ-10, a lightweight, super-slim camera that reinvents the ultra-zoom category. The Olympus SZ-10 will enable you to capture it all with its 18x ultra-zoom 28-504mm wide-angle lens, 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD and 720p HD video. Whether you’re taking portraits at a family gathering or telephoto action shots on the athletic field, this sleek and portable camera will enable you to chronicle all your adventures like a true travel journalist without the bulk. The SZ-10 comes packed with a variety of features that deliver a superior imaging experience far and wide:
  • New Magic Art Filters – make it possible to create special artistic effects in still images and movies directly in the camera;
  • HD Movie & HDMI® Control – HD video delivers a broadcast-quality movie experience when played back on an HDTV;
  • 3D Photo Mode – captures two shots of a scene from two different angles to create still photos that can be viewed with the added excitement and realism of 3D;
  • Eye-Fi™ Card Compatibility – enables automatic wireless uploading of images to the website or PC of your choice; and
  • 3.0-inch LCD – delivering 460,000 pixels of detailed resolution, this LCD is perfect for bright and easy image composition.

“To have ultra-zoom power, you previously had to carry around a bulky camera with a big telephoto lens,” says Jennifer Schmell, product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. “With an 18x wide-angle optical zoom in a super-slim body, the Olympus SZ-10 is ideal for anyone looking for versatility and zoom power to capture postcard-perfect shots every time.”

Ultra-Powerful Zoom in a Stylish Package
With an f2.8 (Wide) / f5.6 (Tele) wide-angle lens (28-504mm equivalent in 35mm photography), users can capture breathtaking landscapes and group shots. Whether capturing fast-action, life’s everyday snapshots or HD videos, this S-series camera provides the versatility to get the job done like never before.

The SZ-10 will be available in March 2011. It will ship with a Lithium-Ion Battery, USB Cable, Wrist Strap, Quick Start Guide, Warranty Card, Instruction Manual, OLYMPUS [ib] and Olympus Viewer 2 Software.
