Olympus VR-320 camera design
Once again, Olympus’ optical engineers have the competition scratching their heads, wondering how they managed to squeeze a precision 12.5x super wide optical zoom lens (24-300mm) into a beautifully slim compact camera that measures just 19.3mm deep (with the zoom retracted). Stand the Olympus VR-320 next to another camera with a 12x zoom and it becomes clear what a big difference a few millimetres can make.
14 megapixel Olympus VR-320
And the Olympus VR320 still gives their users the added flexibility of a category-busting super wide zoom lens that can zoom way out wide or right up close - and capture all those special shots that slim cameras normally can’t. Whether it’s a radiant 14 Megapixel still photo or a blur-free movie in 720p HD, in this price bracket it’s hard to see how picture quality could get any better.
Olympus VR320 camera technologies
The Olympus VR-320 offers nothing unnecessary that would add to the price, just clever, practical features that makes it easier to take great pictures. In addition to Dual Image Stabilisation (virtually eliminates blurring), there’s i-Auto and Shadow Adjustment Technology that automatically choose the right settings for tricky conditions or subjects. Users also have a choice of no fewer than seven of the Magic Filters featured on Olympus’ high-end cameras, so they can get creative and add artistic effects to their shots at the touch of a button.
