Camera Overview — Olympus SZ-10

The Olympus SZ-10 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, capable of capturing stills at a maximum resolution of 4288x3216 pixels. It features a 3.0-inch TFT LCD display with 460,000 dots of resolution, giving shooters a clear framing and review experience on the back panel. For video, the SZ-10 records at up to 720p at 30fps, making it suitable for casual HD footage alongside still photography.
