In the market of cameras that are tailor made to fit in the criteria of compactness for travel with powerful features Olympus is a well established brand for cameras. With the launch of their new product SX-30MR they have increased the battle of popularity among the cameras in the market.
Olympus SZ-30MR has extremely slim design and if compared to the other travel compact cameras it very thin in terms of thickness. With respect to the design it comes in two attractive colors i.e. black and silver which are undoubtedly appealing to both the genders and all age groups. Camera’s front has the lens, auto focus assist and flash that has an Olympus branding engraved on the lid of its pop-up. It also has a large hand grip, which makes it more sturdy and comfortable.
The camera’s rear has a black finish while the front flashes a 3-inch screen. Controls are placed right next to it. They include a video recording button, some other regular features present on other control devices and a 4-way jog dial. On top of the camera is the shutter release button, the on/ off button and the mode dial.
SZ-30MR has the ability to save two pictures at the same time and also comes with multi-recording features that have come in as interesting options. The camera flashes several other intriguing elements like a panorama mode, a magic mode with 8 filters and a 3D mode. Also recording videos at full HD 1080p is a quality. The camera is a fun device to explore all the right areas and places around the world.
Spacing between the buttons is good and comfortable for the over lookers. Capturing videos or images with one hand is as easy task with this one here as it comes in with a light weight for the good. Outdoor imaging too has become fun now as the camera is capable of showing accurate colors with the natural beauty of each pixel. The indoor images are vibrant and interesting and this feature will definitely get many likes for camera. Recording videos at full HD would have not been so much fun ever before. But when one moves from a dark light to a lighter one, there is a slight transition issue that lasts for less than a second. The flash comes in very strongly as it is capable of lighting up an area of approx 15 feet. The device along with it brings the 925mAh Lithium ion battery which will keep the camera of about three days.
