Review Olympus Stylus VH-520 Camera Introduction:
Olympus announces a new top model to its Smart series of digital compact cameras. The Olympus VH-520 shoots bright. For a zoom camera measuring just 25.4mm from lens to radiant 3” LCD, the Olympus Stylus VH-520 really has no right to components of this quality. Forget the gorgeous design, the sensibly laid-out controls and Magic Filters for stills and Full HD movies. The real magic is in the 10x optical zoom, 26mm wide angle lens. By shaving down the lens set, Olympus were able to replace digital IS with mechanical. Combine that with the high-sensitivity, high-ISO capability of iHS, and you’ve got a camera that lets you shoot straight from the hip - bright and blur-free, in good or bad light. The 14-megapixel CMOS sensor and a TruePic V processor originally developed for DSLR. The Olympus zoom camera offers a 26-260mm lens with 10x optical zoom lens and lens-shift image stabilization for taking out blur. When its dark, ISO 6400 and HDR Backlight Adjustment are essential. Olympus packed the gorgeously slim VH-520 full of low-light iHS technologies, normally only found in much bigger cameras for three times the price. For sheer image quality, the Olympus Stylus VH-520 streaks ahead of the field.
Olympus Stylus VH-520 Camera Features:
When you’re walking and capturing videos in Full HD at the same time, blur can be a big problem. Not with the Olympus VH520 and its Multi-motion Movie IS. This advanced image stabilization technology counteracts blurring even with long shots. The new zoom camera is ideal for making dynamic, spontaneous movies when you’re on the move and invariably don’t have a tripod to hand. For slo-mo movie playback, the Olympus Stylus VH520 offers High Speed Movie recording, and Multi-motion Movie IS for shooting video on the go. If all that doesn’t sound feasible in such a svelte camera body, that’s because normally it wouldn’t be. Want to know more about this compact zoom camera from Olympus?

In the new VH-520, Olympus have taken a gorgeously slim compact and packed it full of the technologies, such as low-light iHS, only normally found in much bigger cameras for three times the price. For sheer image quality, the VH-520 is way ahead of the field. Its biggest performance boosters? The 14-megapixel CMOS sensor and a TruePic V processor originally developed for DSLR. Closely followed by the 26mm-260mm* wide, 10x optical zoom lens and lens-shift image stabilization for taking out blur. When it’s dark, ISO 6400 and HDR Backlight Adjustment are essential. For slow-mo movie playback, there’s High Speed Movie recording, and Multi-motion Movie IS for shooting video on the go. It all sounds unbelievable that all this technology would be feasible in such a svelte camera body, because normally it wouldn’t be. But even in poor lighting conditions, with the Olympus VH-520 Battery Charger great picture quality is feasible.
At £129, the compact clearly packs quite a punch for the price Olympus Camera Battery Charger. Image stabilization to our mind should be the handiest feature. Keeping the ISO down will help on noise and the TruePic V processor will clean up pictures further. Throw in a nice and wide lens and a selection of colours and you have a great value for money snapper.
