Olympus SZ-31MR super-zoom compact camera rears its peeping head
Thought we were done with Olympus cameras for one day? Think again! Next up on their long list of releases today is the SZ-31MR super-zoom compact camera.
The successor to the SZ-30MR, it offers the same 16 megapixel backlit sensor and 24x (25-600mm) optical zoom as its predecessor, but adds in a new image processor in the shape of the dual engine TruePic V.
Olympus’s new iHS (Intelligent, High-Sensitivity and High-Speed) tech is onboard, which the company claims leads to sharper, more vivid images. ISO range is 80 to 640. You’ll also get a smart panorama mode, HDR backlight adjustments, an advanced i-Auto mode, Auto Focus tracking, and face and pet detection for your pooch.
Full HD video can be recorded too, while a 3-inch, 920k dot touchscreen LCD sits on the rear, offering touch auto-focus and shutter controls.
Hitting stores in late March, the SZ-31MR will set you back £299.99.
