Olympus 16 Megapixels SZ-31MR 24x SuperZoom Camera

Olympus announced the SZ-31MR long-ranged compact SuperZoom cameras with a 24x (25-600mm equivalent) lens. The camera makes up for the blur likely at the far end of its zoom both by using a 16 Megapixels BSI (backside-illuminated) CMOS sensor and two separate TruePic V image processors (originally developed for DSLR cameras) that give it better low-light performance on top of improving camera speed and image processing.Like its predecessor SZ-30MR, the SZ-31MR iHS incorporates Multi-Recording functionality that simultaneously captures 1080p HD Video and 16 Megapixels still images. 

It also comes with a new touch panel LCD and the new iHS (Intelligent, High-Sensitivity and High-Speed) technologies that capture excellent images and videos in the most challenging backlit and low light conditions. Combined with 10fps High-Speed Sequential Shooting and high-speed autofocus, iHS reduces picture noise and enhances resolution and color gradation despite fast-moving subjects, night scenes and other tricky shots. The SZ-31MR iHS comes with 3.0-inch 920,000-dot LCD, 12 Magic Art Filters, and Full HD 1080p Video.

The Olympus SZ-31MR iHS is available for $399.99 in Silver and Black. It's currently selling at around $399. Here's the summary of review by LetsGoDigital:"Just like its predecessor, the Olympus SZ-31MR has a Multi Recording (MR) function. The MR-function makes it possible to make a 1080p Full HD video recording and simultaneously capture 16 Megapixel photos. You take a photo with a tap on the screen, while recording. This way you can also change the focal point, the shutter speed and the zoom factor, all without interrupting the video recording. Additionally, the Olympus SZ-31MR is equipped with a Multi-Motion Movie stabilization and double image stabilization, in order to make sharp video recordings, without bothersome image distortions. 

Other functions of the user-friendly Olympus SZ-31MR are, among others, Live Guide, with which you can adjust in real-time settings such as fading the background and adjusting the colors. There is also the advanced i-Auto mode and AF-tracking functions, with which the camera itself chooses the optimal settings and focuses. The camera also has a Macro mode, Smart Panorama, a 3D photo function and a Beauty-make up mode. To complete the story there are a mere seventeen scene programs and twelve different Magic filters available, to make photos and videos with fun effects. 

The Olympus SZ-31MR is an ultra-compact digital camera with an enormous zoom range and a complete metal body. This Super Zoom camera is easy to operate with the clear and sensitive touch screen and has innovative functions, such as the iHS technologies and the Multi Recording function. The Olympus SZ-31MR also has an improved autofocus. Next to taking 16 Megapixel photos, there is also a 1080p Full HD video function available. Different photo modes allow for creativity. It is a pleasure to shoot with the Olympus SZ-31MR, the photos are colorful and sharp. The photos appear even better on the computer than on the camera screen. The Olympus SZ-31MR has been available for one month for $400 USD."
