 CES 2012 News - Olympus VG-170 digital camera : At the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Olympus announced a new digital camera with the strongest build-in flash even seen in a compact camera. The Olympus VG-170 features Megapixels, a 5x wide optical zoom lens, 3-inch LCD display and a host of automatic functions and creative photo effects. With its slim, stylish camera body and retro design, the Olympus VG 170 could be mistaken for a high-end camera, but there’s nothing high-end about the price. Plenty of digital compact cameras promise to make your world brighter, but only the Olympus VG-170 has the best flash to back up that claim.
