Another new digital camera of note to be released in the last week is the Olympus SP-590UZ.
By far the feature to note on the SP-590UZ is its zoom – an impressive 26x optical zoom which gives those using it the equivalent of a 26-676mm focal range.
The Olympus SP-590UZ has a 12 megapixel image sensor, has the ability to shoot in RAW, has dual image stabilization (both mechanical and digital) to stop camera shake at the long end of the zoom and has a 2.7 inch LCD display.
Other features include
- high speed shooting (up to 10 frames per second)
- a maximum aperture of f/2.8 to f/5.0 across different focal lengths
- HDMI viewing of images on HD TVs
- Face Detection (for up to 16 people)
- Built in Flash (with wireless flash control if you want to sync it with Olympus strobe flashes)
- Video at 30 frames per second
- AA battery power
- All the normal semi-automatic shooting modes but also Multiple Exposure mode (multiple exposures on the one image), Soft Background Focus mode, and Beauty Mode (softens wrinkles on a subjects face).
- In camera editing using ‘beauty fix mode’ (again to remove blemishes but also ad a sparkle to the eye of your subject.
The Olympus SP-590UZ will hit stores in March and have a retail price of around $450 USD.
It is already available for pre-order at Amazon.
