Olympus' new Stylus 1020 is among the first Olympus compacts to include sensor-shift image stabilization.

In addition to the two new waterproof models announced today, Olympus has shared plans to sell three new Stylus compact cameras, all of which include sensor-shift image stabilization. Like some of their competitors, Olympus offers their IS in conjunction with an ISO-boosting mode, which they call Digital Image Stabilization. Together they somewhat predictably call the combo Dual Image Stabilization. Like Fujifilm models, Olympus compact cameras record their images to xD Picture Cards. Last year Fuji transitioned to xD/SD combo slots in all of their compact cameras. Olympus has chosen to stick with xD slots, but will include adapters with all of their new compact cameras so that you can use MicroSD cards if you want to.

Chief among the three new cameras is the 10-megapixel Stylus 1020, which sports a 7x optical zoom lens that covers an equivalent of 37-260mm with a maximum aperture range of f/3.3-5.3. The 1020 also has a new type of screen for Olympus, which they're calling HyperCrystal II. The company says that it provides an increased contrast ratio and better color reproduction when compared to their older HyperCrystal LCDs. The 1020 includes a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal II LCD, as well as illuminated buttons and a continuous shooting mode that lets you shoot successive images with the flash turned on-- many continuous shooting modes won't allow flash, or only use it for the first shot. Olympus expects the Stylus 1020 to hit stores this March for about $350 with blue, pink, black, or silver glossy finishes.

Next in the line comes the 10-megapixel Stylus 1010. It doesn't boast the 1020's continuous shooting with flash, and has a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal LCD instead of the newer HyperCrystal II, but other than that it has all the same features as the 1020. The Stylus 1010 is also expected in stores this March and should sell for about $300 in a choice of silver, black, blue, and purple colors.

The Stylus 840 steps down to an 8-megapixel sensor and 5X optical, 36-180mm f/3.3-5.0 zoom lens. Like the 1010, the 840 as a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal LCD. In addition to the features mentioned above, all three of these new cameras also include a handful of other convenient features including face detection auto exposure and autofocus, shadow adjustment technology to help preserve details in shadows when trying to capture a high contrast scene, and in-camera editing to help remove red-eye, resize images, adjust saturation, or even bring out shadow detail in photos that have already been captured.

They also include Olympus' Perfect Shot Preview, which lets you see the effects of certain adjustments, such as exposure compensation, in a multi-window screen before capturing the image. Finally, they all include in-camera panoramic stitching of up to three images. If you're willing to wait to stitch, the Olympus Master software that comes with the cameras allows panoramas of up to ten images. Olympus plans to start shipping the Stylus 840 to stores this month where you should be able to buy it for about $250 in a choice of silver, blue, black, and pink finishes.

really great camera

by oisharkbait on September 21, 2008

Pros: First of all I love the zoom! I like the image stablization. you can actually snap a shot while moving the camera and the pic will come out perfectly clear. also you can edit your pics directly on the camera. the browser is cool.

Cons: nothing that i can think of. if you want a camera that takes streak pics like with the streaks from lights.... go for the canon because this camera doesn't have that feature. i knew that before buying it, but i figured it wasn't important.

Summary: this camera functions great. 10 mega pixels, 7 optical zoom! i used it in europe and took over 800 beautiful pics. i can't get over the zoom. i wouldn'...

Summary: this camera functions great. 10 mega pixels, 7 optical zoom! i used it in europe and took over 800 beautiful pics. i can't get over the zoom. i wouldn't have captured some of the amazing pics i did without it. i like the on/off button. this camera is very user friendly. i'm not an expert, but i did a lot of research before buying this camera, and also had tested it out. it's definitely worth buying. to me, this camera is just as good as a sony cybershot and canon powershot, if not even better. especially for it's price compared to them. you will not be dissapointed.

Stylus 1010 an excellent choice

by sunny615 on June 17, 2008

Pros: Fast, Light, Easy to Use, Great Zoom (7x), Hi Resolution, Large Display Screen

Cons: Movie sometimes makes a thumping noise

Summary: Had a great experience with Olympus with a previous generation camera (4 MP I think). Tried other models (Casio, Nikon, Sony) but they were either way too simple, or made ...

Summary: Had a great experience with Olympus with a previous generation camera (4 MP I think). Tried other models (Casio, Nikon, Sony) but they were either way too simple, or made for the photo expert with features only a professional photographer would understand. It takes fantastic pictures in all settings. I love this camera. The only issue I've run across is in movie mode. I owned the previous model (Stylus 840) and found that the movie mode made a lot of thumping during recordings. We upgraded to the 1010 (after numerous trial and errors with different models) and it doesn't do it except when you're ending the movie. I'm still wondering if it's indicative to the model or brand. We're still testing the 1010 to make sure it doesn't happen this time... otherwise, I don't know what else we can do as this was the best digital camera that we've found.
