Olympus SZ-30MR Digital Camera

The Olympus SZ-30MR Digital Camera boasts an array of features from a 16Mp CMOS sensor to 1080p HD video to 3D photo capture, and then some. In addition to the impressive resolution, Olympus gave the SZ-30MR a number of helpful functions that give you real flexibility when shooting. Let's start with the basics.

The camera has a 24x optical zoom for high-quality close-ups of your subjects, a generous 3.0" LCD display for composition and playback, and the TruePic III+ image processor for quick processing of files, just for starters. The 30MR also has an ISO up to 3200, Dual Image Stabilization, and various other settings, including exposure metering selections, a wide choice of shutter speeds, and white balance controls.

The SZ-30MR, along with taking 16Mp still images and 1080p HD video, gives you the option of capturing both at once with a feature Olympus calls multi-recording. No matter what you're documenting, however, all of your files can be stored to SD/SDHC or SDXC memory cards. The camera is even Wi-Fi compatible when using an Eye-Fi card. That means you can email or upload images straight from the SZ-30MR when using an optional Eye-Fi card.

Other useful features include Smart Panorama, which as the name implies, captures panoramic shots, Magic Art Filter which give your photos and movies a fun and creative feel, and the 3D photo mode which gives your images an eye-popping effect, by combining two pictures. Additional features include AF tracking and face detection.
