Olympus SZ-15 prices and specs
The Olympus SZ-15 was produced on Jan 8, 2013 and is on sale in USA for $242.00
The Olympus SZ-15 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Olympus SZ-15 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't get photographs of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can shoot photos at 16 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The SZ-15 has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the model will shoot photos with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. But if you want to shoot photos of the professional quality check Pentax K-1.
The Olympus SZ-15 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for taking action photos of a very good quality. The Olympus SZ-15 captures perfect videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is fixed and you won't be able to switch it. The lens has amazing 21x optical zoom.
Also this device has Wi-Fi which means that the SZ-15 owner can back up images to a cloud service for example. The Olympus SZ-15 even equiped with built-in GPS that will allow you to pinpoint the exact co-ordinates at which the photos were captured.
