Olympus SZ-10 18x Superzoom

by on February 8, 2011

in Olympus

The Olympus SZ-10 is a 14MP superzoom camera, sporting a 18x optical zoom lens (28-504mm equivalent).   The SZ-10 also features a high resolution 3-inch LCD (460k-dot res) and captures 720p HD video.

Perhaps the biggest feature on the SZ-10 is the fact that it shrank from past superzoom models.  The camera is quite compact for your typical superzoom camera model, measuring only 1.5-inches thick.

The Olympus SZ-10 carries a retail price tag of $249.99 and should be available in March.  Check availability on Amazon.com.

Sony has announced that it will be unlocking the keys to its popular NEX camera models (i.e., the E-mount specifications) and allow third-parties to develop lenses for the system.  What’s more, Sony won’t charge them a dime.

Given the initial popularity of cameras like the NEX-5 and NEX-VG10, I would expect to see plenty of lenses down the road from the likes of Sigma and others.  In fact, Sony is touting the endorsement of the move by Sigma, Zeiss, Cosina, and Tamron.

No specifics on what glass will be the first on store shelves, but my guess is that these guys already have stuff in progress.

Any Sony NEX owners out there with a wish-list of lenses from Zeiss, Sigma, etc.?
