The SZ-series, or Super-Zoom series, is Olympus’ completely new camera series, already made up of three different digital compact cameras. The Olympus SZ-20 is positioned between the SZ-10 that was introduced in January of this year, and the top model, the SZ-30MR. The Olympus SZ-20 distinguishes itself with both its photo and video resolution from the SZ-10.

Olympus’ top model, the SZ-30MR, is also equipped with the possibility to make Full HD- video recordings simultaneously with high resolution photographs. The zoom range is also greater in both brothers.
