Camera OverviewOlympus Stylus 1010

The Olympus Stylus 1010 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 10MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with the TruePic III image processor. It offers an ISO range of 64 to 1600, giving photographers a reasonable degree of flexibility across different lighting situations. Image stabilization is handled by a Dual IS system that combines both lens-based and in-body stabilization, helping to reduce the effects of camera shake during handheld shooting.

On the back, a 2.7-inch TFT LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution serves as the primary framing and review tool — there is no viewfinder. The camera is capable of burst shooting at up to 7 frames per second, which is a notable feature for a camera in this class. Color profile options for stills include sRGB, Vivid, Natural, Monotone, and Sepia.

Video recording tops out at 480p at up to 30fps in 8-bit color. The body is constructed with an aluminum alloy front panel, measures 94.7 x 56.7 x 24.3 mm, and weighs just 125g. Notably, the bodyDesign indicates Water Resistant weather sealing, adding a layer of protection for outdoor use.

The camera is powered by an LI-42B Lithium-Ion battery rated for approximately 240 shots per charge under CIPA standards. Autofocus uses contrast detection with iESP and Face Detection. There is no hot shoe, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth.
