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.
