The camera, priced at INR
44,990/–, boasts highly powerful elements such as a f2.8 constant aperture
28-300mm i.Zuiko digital lens with 10.7x zoom, high definition Electronic View
Finder, built in Wi-Fi and OM-D style
shooting, with all of this packed into an ultra-slim body, which has been the
epitome of excellence from Olympus.
The compact digital camera
market is currently degrowing across the world and yet, in such climes, models
with a large imaging sensor, bright lens, premium high image quality and
performance, and models with a high magnification which cover a wide range of
shooting conditions, remain global bestselling hits for Olympus .
Olympus has thus taken the bull by the horns and
introduced a compact camera which fulfills the dream of capturing professional
images.
This comes close on the heels of
the launch of their OM-D E-M1 which is touted to be a ‘DSLR killer’, says Mr.
Kenichiro Mori, Managing Director, Olympus Imaging India Pvt. Ltd., “We
have decided that any and every camera that we launch will change the way India
Since announcing the XZ-1 in
January 2011, Olympus has released the
STYLUS-XZ-2 and the STYLUS XZ-10 equipped with i.ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses that
feature excellent image quality and brightness to the telephoto end, resulted
in leading the high-performance model market. All-in-one cameras that support
various scenes with powerful zooms have also proved to be popular among
families for shooting vacations and children's events. However, up to now it
has been difficult to create a model with a powerful zoom lens that effectively
balanced the size, excellent image quality, and brightness at all focal
lengths. That is where the Stylus 1 disrupts the marketplace.
The STYLUS
1 is the flagship model of the STYLUS series, packing DSLR-level excellent
image quality, powerful magnification, superior functions, and a wide shooting
range into a compact body for an authentic shooting experience that anyone can
easily enjoy - from beginners to advanced users.
