Olympus SZ-12 prices and specs
The SZ-12 was released on Jan 10, 2012 and is sold in USA for $90.18
The SZ-12 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't shoot photos of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Olympus SZ-12 can take photos at 14 megapixels highest resolution. But for better image quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will take photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has more portable size. And if you want to capture photos of the professional quality check Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/1700 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but anyway the owner of the camera will be able to make photos of moving people. The photographer will be able to produce HD videos that guarantees a good image quality.
The lens is fixed and the photographer won't be able to switch it. The lens has great 24x optical zoom.
The SZ-12 battery life will be enough to shoot approximately 220 photos.
