Olympus VG-160 prices and specs
The Olympus VG-160 was released on Jan 10, 2012 and is available in USA for $199.99
The Olympus VG-160 is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The VG-160 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't shoot photos of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The VG-160 can shoot photos at 14 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better picture quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the VG-160 will make photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it is smaller. And if you want to capture photos of the professional quality pay attention to Leica M-P (Typ 240).
The VG-160 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for taking action photos of a satisfactory quality. The camera owner will be able to shoot HD videos that guarantees a good picture quality.
The lens is built into the VG-160 and you won't be able to switch it. The lens has satisfactory 5x optical zoom.
The Olympus VG-160 battery life will be enough to make approximately 165 photos.
