New Olympus "Super Cameras" - SZ-31MR iHS and Tough TG-820 iHS
Today, Olympus announced a variety of new cameras expected to arrive throughout the 2012 year. The
the new SZ-31MR iHS which will eventually replace the SZ-30MR and the TG-820 iHS which will eventually replace the TG-810 cameras. Olympus is calling these first two cameras in their line the "super cameras" due to their new iHS (Intelligent, High-Sensitivity and High-Speed) Chip. This iHS technology is expected to harness the power of a new BSI (Back-Side
Illuminated) CMOS sensor and the TruePic VI image processor (originally
developed for DSLR cameras) to dramatically improve low-light
performance, speed up camera response time, enhance scene and subject
recognition and double zoom magnification without losing image quality.
The TOUGH TG-820 iHS
is a rugged compact with a 12-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and a 28-140mm
equivalent 5x optical zoom lens. The real standout feature is its
3-inch, 1,030,000-dot LCD, an anti-reflective, scratch-proof display
that's as sharp as any camera we can recall. The camera is waterproof to
33 feet (10 meters), shockproof to 6.6 feet (2 meters), freezeproof to
14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius) and crushproof to a
weight of 220 pounds (100 kilograms).
Olympus also announced the superzoom SZ-31MR iHS
compact , which has a 24x (25-600mm equivalent) lens and
16-megapixel sensor. While the SZ-31's 3-inch, 920,000 dot display isn't
quite as sharp as the TG-820's, it's touch-sensitive and lets you
focus, zoom and change settings like shutter speed with a few taps —
just as well, as the camera body is otherwise suspiciously lacking in
buttons.
It'll be released in April for $399.99.
