Olympus VG-180 camera
If you buy a chic-looking, lightweight camera for well under €100, picture quality is usually the first disappointment. In fact, make that quality full stop. The Olympus VG-180 is different. This camera has such a good lens that you can shoot great pictures and videos with sound every time - in 16 Megapixel clarity. You get a high-precision 5x optical zoom for razor-sharp close-ups and a nice wide lens that can zoom out to 26mm for group shots, buildings and landscapes. The Olympus VG-180 takes care of all the settings itself with i-Auto. If you really need to, you can also boost magnification digitally from 5x to 20x. When you’re done shooting photos, it’s a cinch to add special effects using one of nine Magic Filters. The new Miniature filter turns a regular scene into an enchanting miniature world - by enhancing contrast and colour and narrowing the depth of field - at the touch of a button. Like everything else on our Smart cameras, it’s that simple.
