Discontinued
Selected Color: Black
The Olympus Stylus 830 Digital Camera is a sleek all-weather and compact camera that combines elegant design with power, performance and reliability. You'll enjoy amazing detail with an impressive 5x optical zoom with Dual Image Stabilization for Blur-Free photos, and 8 megapixels of resolution. Then experience the view on a large, super clear 2.5-inch HyperCrystal LCD, which is great for easily composing, editing and sharing images with friends and family.
There are 26 shooting modes that make it easy to take a great image in any situation, and it incorporates Olympus' latest imaging technologies including Face Detection Technology, Shadow Adjustment Technology, and Perfect Shot Preview. Additionally, users can also capture TV-quality video with sound then easily connect directly to a television or LCD screen for convenient playback. The Stylus 830 also provides illuminated buttons for easy viewing in low-light situations.
- 8.0 Million Pixels
- The 8-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the Stylus 830 delivers high-quality images that are consistently sharp and vivid even when printed in large formats.
- 5x Optical Zoom
- The Stylus 830 features cutting edge lens technology that enables the 5x optical zoom lens (36 - 180mm, equivalent in 35mm photography) to bring the action five times closer, and then tucks away into the cameras compact body.
- Dual Image Stabilization
- Dual Image Stabilization technology combines two technologies - mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization - to provide one powerful anti-blur solution for capturing great images whether the photographer or the subject is moving. Olympus' mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization keeps images sharp by adjusting the CCD image sensor to compensate for camera movement, which often occurs in low-light conditions when shutter speeds are slower. Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds that prevent blurry images often caused by a moving subject.
- Stylish, Ergonomic Body Design and All-Weather Durability
- The Stylus 830 digital camera features a light-weight metal body with rubber gaskets throughout the interior to ensure that rain, sleet and snow will not get in the way of great photos. Additionally, the ultra-compact camera body is less than 1-inch thick.
- Large HyperCrystal LCD
- The Stylus 830 boasts a large, high-resolution 2.5-inch HyperCrystal LCD with high contrast and anti-glare technology for clear visibility, even when composing pictures in bright sunlight. Images are viewable on the LCD screen from 176-degrees, so photos can be composed from a range of angles and viewed by several people at once.
- Face Detection Technology
- Face Detection Technology tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses (Face Detection AF) and optimizes exposure (Face Detection AE) for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures. Even if your subjects are moving, the camera continuously tracks your subjects' faces without having to press the shutter button.
- Shadow Adjustment Technology
- Shooting outdoors in bright daylight can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between dark shadowed areas and bright sunlight areas - while the human eye is capable of detecting the nuances between dark and light and all the details in between, image sensors traditionally have not been quite as sensitive. The Stylus cameras address this challenge head-on with a new Shadow Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are underexposed and lack visible detail.
- Perfect Shot Preview
- The Perfect Shot Preview mode enables users to preview and select various photographic effects on a live, multi-window screen before snapping the shot, ensuring users are capturing the exact image they want. It is an ideal way for novice users to learn about the effects of different photography techniques, such as zoom, exposure compensation, white balance and metering.
- TruePic III Image Processor
- The exclusive Olympus TruePic III image processor developed for the demanding performance of Digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras. Olympus' enhanced TruePic III Image Processor produces crystal clear photos using all the pixel information for each image to deliver superior picture quality with more accurate colors, true-to-life flesh tones and faster processing speeds.
- Bright Capture Technology
- Olympus' Bright Capture Technology makes it possible to clearly compose and capture subjects on the LCD in low light, and allows high sensitivity settings and rapid auto-focus to be used for fast-action photos to be captured with low levels of available light. Plus, Bright Capture Movie lets consumers record the moments in the dark even after the candles are blown out.
- Preset Shooting Modes
- The Stylus 830 offers 26 shooting modes to make it easy to take great photos in a variety of scenarios and lighting situations. Simply select the desired mode for portraits, landscapes, night scenes, fast-action, macro and more.
- In-Camera Editing
- With the Perfect Fix, multiple editing features can be applied at once. The Stylus 830 features Red-Eye Fix and Lighting Fix, and other in-camera editing features such as resizing, frames, text options, color brightness and saturation adjustments that enable users to edit photos right in the camera.
- Includes Olympus Master 2 Software
- Olympus Master 2 Software provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are easily organized by folders or albums and searchable by date in Calendar view. Additionally, with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye removal, images can be touched up before printing or e-mailing. Online support, templates, firmware upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click away. Use the optional Muvee Theater Pack to create professional quality slide shows and DVDs from your pictures using any of several built-in templates.

Comments about Olympus Stylus 830 Digital Camera (Black):
I shoot Nikon DSLr's but wanted a useful "pocket" camera to carry for all those times when the larger camera/lens combo might be left behind. This little water resistant unit has proved itself to be more than useful with an output that exceeded my expectations. I didn't even realize that it could record decent sound video as well so that was an added bonus.
