Olympus debuts SH-1, 5-axis IS in tow

In addition to the Stylus Tough TG-3, the Japanese firm also launched super-zoom point-and-shoot camera dubbed as the Olympus SH-1.

On the outside, the SH-1 looks deceivingly similar to the company’s PEN-series cameras. The difference though is that the SH-1 has fixed 25-600mm (35mm equivalent) lens whilst the lens of its PEN counterparts are interchangeable.

The Olympus SH-1 shares the same inner workings of the Stylus Tough TG-3 which includes a 16MP BSI-CMOS sensor, TruePIc VII image processor and an ISO range of 100 to 6400. And although it can’t handle the same amount of beating as it rugged cousin, the SH-1 has another ace up its sleeve which comes in the form of the 5-axis Image Stabilization.

First implemented on the OM-D E-M5, the 5-axis IS, in theory, lessens blurry shots usually caused by shaky hands during handheld shooting. This will certainly come in handy with the SH-1, especially because it has a rather slow lens; f/3.0 at wide-angle and f/6.9 at telephoto.
