The four new cameras in Olympus'
Stylus line are the shockproof, waterproof
and coldproof Stylus 790 SW; Stylus 820,
Stylus 830, and 12 megapixel Stylus 1200.
The new cameras sport some new or useful
features, like face detection, Shadow
Adjustment Technology, Perfect Shot Preview,
and Perfect Fix. The Stylus 790 SW and
Stylus 820 will be available in September
2007 for $300 and $250, respectively.
The Stylus 830 and Stylus 1200 will be
available in October 2007 for $330 and
$350, respectively. The face detection
system provides face detection AF and
AE, meaning that you get focus and exposure
correct on the faces in your shot. Digital
image stabilization, which we've seen
before, uses higher ISOs to increase shutter
speeds. The Digital Image Stabilization
Edit uses data collected by a gyro sensor
to correct images after they've been taken.
Perfect Shot Preview lets you preview
possible settings differences (zoom, exposure
compensation, white balance, etc) in multiple
frames on the LCD and pick the frame that
you think looks best. Perfect Fix can
apply Digital Image Stabilization Edit,
Lighting Fix, and Red-eye Fix. Shadow
Adjustment Technology helps correct lighting
in harshly lit scenes. Some of the models
in the Stylus line also get Dual Image
Stabilization, which consists of a mechanical,
sensor-shift mechanism to counteract hand
shake in combination with digital image
stabilization.
