Olympus Stylus 500 prices and specs
The Olympus Stylus 500 was released on Nov 29, 2004 and is available in USA for $319.00
The Olympus Stylus 500 is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't shoot pictures of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Olympus Stylus 500 can shoot pictures at 5 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The Stylus 500 has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the Stylus 500 will produce pictures with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it is smaller. And if you want to take pictures of the best quality pay attention to Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246).
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/1000 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still the owner of the camera will be able to make pictures of moving people. The Olympus Stylus 500 can even record videos but the max resolution is not very high - 320 x 240.
The lens is built into the Olympus Stylus 500 and the photographer can't change it. The lens provides weak 3x optical zoom.
