Description — Olympus Stylus 820
The Olympus Stylus 820 is a point-and-shoot compact camera designed for straightforward, portable shooting. Built around an 8MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, it delivers photos with minimal complexity. The camera's water-resistant body sets it apart from standard point-and-shoots, giving it added resilience during outdoor use.
At just 4.9 oz and 3.8 x 2.2 x 1.0 in, it's genuinely pocketable. Autofocus uses a contrast detection system, and the camera's burst mode fires at up to 7 frames per second — handy for moving subjects. The 2.7-inch LCD handles composition and review duties, and the ISO 50–1600 range gives reasonable sensitivity latitude.
Storage relies on SD and SDHC cards, the camera connects via USB, and a built-in flash is on board. Power comes from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
