Two new super-zoom cameras were recently announced by Pentax and Olympus. Both cameras, the Olympus Stylus and Pentax X-5, are also powered by those regular double-A type battries. First up is the Olympus Stylus (SP-820UZ iHS) which features 14MP CMOS sensor and TruePic V processor which enables user to capture DSLR-like quality images and record Full HD videos. The Olympus Stylus (SP-820UZ iHS) is pegged at $329.99 and will be launched this September. This camera is also equipped with a built-in Electronic Viewfinder (approximately 230k dots) and a tilting 3†LCD screen (460K dots), features which are missing in the Olympus Stylus. This camera will also be launched next month along with the Olympus Stylus. 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.
