Olympus announced Worldwide its 2 new SP-600UZ and SP-800UZ bridge. With a 15x optical Zoom our 12Mpix SP-600UZ features a 2.7” LCD monitor, dual Image Stabilization, AF Tracking, Face detection and 720p video recording. Now if the 15x optical Zoom and 12Mpix censor is just not enough for you, go and jump on the SP-800UZ with its 30x optical Zoom and 14Mpix censor.

Olympus Imaging Corporation (President: Masaharu Okubo) is pleased to announce the SP-600UZ, the new face in the SP series. Combining the lens performance of an SLR with the simplicity of a compact, this model is great for shooting not just photos, but high-definition movies as well. Release is scheduled end of February 2010.

The SP-600UZ is a digital camera equipped with a high-magnification zoom lens that covers a remarkably wide shooting range with focal lengths ranging from 28mm wide-angle to 420mm telephoto. Thanks to its advanced optical expertise, Olympus has been able to incorporate in a compact, palm-size camera the same high-powered super-telephoto capability that normally makes SLR cameras so bulky and heavy. Because it is so small, this camera is an ideal travelling companion, offering the power of a full-size camera and lenses without increasing the amount of luggage. The SP-600UZ is an easy-to-use “all-in-one” camera that makes it possible anyone to enjoy the pleasure of advanced photography.
The super-telephoto 15x optical zoom can capture big, up-close images of even the most distant subjects, creating high-impact pictures by capturing details that cannot be seen with the naked eye, such as the facial expressions of children in athletic or theatrical events or athletes in professional sport competitions. When combined with the digital zooming, the total zoom ratio can be increased to a phenomenal 75x, enough to zoom right in on the craters of the moon. Now, a single camera makes it possible to take a wide variety of pictures from various angles of view, including 28mm wide-angle for landscape or group shots and super-macro for close-up pictures of flowers. Clear, focused images are assured by Olympus’s advanced CCD-shift image stabilization function and high-sensitivity imaging, which prevents the picture blur due to camera shake and subject motion commonly associated with telephoto or super-telephoto shooting.
Olympus has also added a new feature added to its popular scene modes – “background defocusing”. A technique usually available only with SLR cameras, background defocusing can defocus the background to make the main subject stand out, proving a sophisticated new way for compact camera users to create more expressive, dynamic photographs.

Olympus Imaging Corporation (President: Masaharu Okubo) is pleased to announce the SP-800UZ, the smallest compact digital camera in its class and the first in the world to incorporate a 30x optical zoom. Release is scheduled middle of March 2010.
