Description — Olympus SZ-10
The Olympus SZ-10 is a point-and-shoot compact camera centered on a 14MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, delivering still images at up to 4288x3216 pixels. The rear 3.0-inch TFT LCD screen at 460,000 dots provides a clear and responsive interface for composing shots and reviewing images. Autofocus is handled via contrast detection, a reliable approach for this camera category.
Image stabilization is delivered through a Dual IS system combining both lens and digital stabilization, helping to minimize blur from camera shake. The ISO 64–1600 range covers everyday shooting scenarios in adequate light. For video, the camera captures footage at up to 720p at 30fps.
Storage is handled by SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the camera connects to external devices via USB. The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion type. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, and no weather sealing is present, so the SZ-10 is best suited to everyday casual use in dry conditions.
