Camera Overview — Olympus VG-150

The Olympus VG-150 is an entry-level point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 12MP sensor housed in a 1/2.3-inch sensor format. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 3968x2976 pixels and handles video at up to 480p at 30fps, making it a straightforward option for casual everyday shooting. The camera features a 2.7-inch TFT LCD display with 230,000 dots of resolution for composing and reviewing shots.

Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system complemented by Face Detection AF and subject tracking, which helps keep moving subjects sharp without requiring manual intervention. The ISO range runs from 100 to 1600, giving some flexibility in varying lighting conditions. A built-in flash is included for low-light situations.

The body is constructed from plastic and weighs just 105g, with dimensions of 92.0 x 54.2 x 19.8mm, making it genuinely pocketable. It accepts SD and SDHC storage cards and connects to other devices via USB. Power comes from a Li-Ion LI-70B battery.

There is no image stabilization of any kind, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth connectivity. No viewfinder is present, so the LCD is the sole means of framing shots.

Description — Olympus VG-150

The Olympus VG-150 is a point-and-shoot compact camera designed for straightforward everyday use. At its core is a 12MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, capable of capturing stills at up to 3968x2976 pixels. The camera's 2.7-inch TFT LCD with 230,000 dots serves as both the viewfinder and review screen, as no optical or electronic viewfinder is included.

For autofocus, it relies on contrast detection paired with Face Detection AF and subject tracking, helping keep people and moving subjects in focus. The ISO 100–1600 range covers a reasonable spread of shooting conditions, and the built-in flash steps in when available light is low. Video recording tops out at 480p at 30fps.

The plastic body measures 92.0 x 54.2 x 19.8mm and weighs just 105g, with no weather sealing. Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects to computers over USB. There is no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or image stabilization of any type.
