That’s exactly what Olympus did when they unveiled their latest high-end point-and-shoot camera, the Stylus 1. Although a direct descendant of the Stylus XZ-2, the Stylus 1’s physique is more akin to the fairly new Olympus OM-D E-M1 than to its predecessor. Olympus Stylus 1 specs: 12MP 1/1.-inch BSI-CMOS sensor TruePic VI image processor 10.7x optical zoom (28-300mm eq.) F/2.8 (fixed aperture) 100 – 12800 ISO 60sec. If you feel like you need more reach, you can also add the $199.99 Olympus TCON-17X tele-conventer lens to the package, effectively extending the Stylus 1’s range up to 540mm without affecting the aperture. With the sweltering humidity we’ve all been experiencing, there’s no trace of doubt that summertime is in full swing, and if you’re looking for a rugged camera that you can bring on you upcoming trip, then Olympus might have the right snapper for the job – the Stylus Tough TG-3. The new Olympus Stylus Tough TG-3 is expected to hit shelves starting this June and will set you back USD349.99 a pop.
