Olympus Launches Ultra Zoom Digital Camera

The new Olympus SP-510 Ultra Zoom offers the ultimate value in its class with the highest image resolution of any 10x digital camera on the market, an Olympus ED Zoom Lens, a large 2.5-inch LCD and extra-long battery life (up to 630 shots from standard alkaline batteries). Designed to satisfy the needs of beginners and advanced users alike, this highly versatile camera provides incredible point-and-shoot functionality (including 21 preset Scene Modes) as well as professional features like full manual controls, ISO 4000 and RAW shooting. The bright, high-quality optical system is precision-crafted using extra-dispersion (ED) and high-refractive-index aspherical lens elements to deliver edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity. The 7.1 megapixel CCD image sensor delivers superior image quality capturing the most subtle details that are consistently sharp and vivid. Recording in both JPEG and RAW file formats, the SP-510 UZ is perfectly suited for a wide range of users - from new photographers to advanced users who want maximum creative control. The SP-510 UZ will be available in September 2006 at an estimated street price of US $329.99.
