The "superzoom" category of small-sensor point-and-shoots with zoom lenses of 10X or greater is a strange one, but travelers and people catching shots of their kids at the Little League game love them. The new Stylus 1 from Olpympus tickles that telephoto fancy while keeping serious photographers in mind.
The 12 MP Stylus 1 premium compact superzoom, combining DSLR-like operation and performance and compact camera portability, the prothusiast camera features a 300-mm fixed aperture zoom lens (with the option to extend the telephoto end via an adapter and add-on lens), a tilting touchscreen display and an electronic viewfinder, and built-in Wi-Fi.
The Olympus STYLUS 1 will come with a 12MP 1/1.7” BSI CMOS sensor. It will sport a 10.7x i.Zuiko Optical Zoom 28-300mm equivalent lens with a constant aperture of f/2.8. It will also feature a Super Macro Mode with a 2” minimum focus distance, a 1.4M-dot high-def EVF with an eye sensor, a 3” touchscreen LCD display that can be tilted, WiFi connectivity, and Full HD 1080p video capture. It will also come with built-in flash and a hot shoe for added peripherals in the future.
To help it really live up to its superzoom status, users can mount a TCON-17x 1.7x teleconverter lens using a CLA-13 converter adapter, which will extend the telephoto end to 510 mm, but doing so will obviously adversely affect the camera's portability and convenience.
The compact has also been treated to the same 1.44 million dot resolution LCD electronic viewfinder as can be found on the Olympus OM-D E-M5, with 1.15x magnification and 100 percent field of view. An eye sensor turns off LiveView on the touchscreen display when an approaching eye is detected.
The 4.5 x 3.4 x 2.2 in (116.2 x 87 x 56.5 mm) Stylus 1 has a fully loaded weight of 14.2 oz (about 400 g), and is capable of Full HD video recording at 30 fps with stereo audio. Users can capture footage at up to 240 fps for those much-loved dramatic slow motion scenes, though the resolution will need to drop to 320 x 240.
Users are offered a choice of four aspects for capturing stills, and 11 art filters and five effects should help satisfy the creativity muse. An included Neutral Density filter helps prevent overexposure during motion blur shooting.
