Olympus SZ-30MR

16.0 megapixel, Mid-Sized, 24.00x Zoom

Remarkably slim and light for a 24x long zoom digital camera, the Olympus SZ-30MR is a handsome digital camera with a good grip. We liked the easy Panorama mode and a few of the scene modes, but were mystified by a few other modes; most disappointing, though, was the overaggressive noise suppression that made in-focus faces blurry and foliage look more like clouds than leaves.

Olympus Stylus XZ-2

12.0 megapixel, Mid-Sized, 4.00x Zoom

Boasting a new 12-megapixel 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor and three-inch articulating LCD touchscreen, the Olympus XZ-2 enthusiast compact camera marks a serious upgrade over the XZ-1. But the not-quite-pocketable camera's core selling point remains the fast and bright f/1.8-2.5 i.ZUIKO 4x zoom lens that's ideal for low-light shooting, and can better blur backgrounds than most compact cameras. Overall, the XZ-2 captures great images, offers a horde of advanced photographic capabilities and is a joy to use, placing it on the short list of compact cameras suitable for truly demanding photographers.

Olympus Tough TG-1

12.0 megapixel, Compact, 4.00x Zoom

The Olympus Tough TG-1 waterproof digital compact camera looks and feels like it should -- rugged and ready to take on the elements. It's also incredibly fast -- in both the bright f/2.0 lens and in autofocus, startup and shot-to-shot times, but image quality suffers a little more than we'd like, with frequent underexposure and muted colors.

Olympus Tough TG-810

14.0 megapixel, Compact, 5.00x Zoom

A beautiful design with impressive features, but image quality is sub-par. We suspended our review as a result, and do not recommend the TG-810.

Olympus XZ-1

10.0 megapixel, Compact, 4.00x Zoom

Offering a lens that's both faster and sharper overall than its rivals, the Olympus XZ-1 comes out swinging and lands quite a few punches. High ISO performance isn't quite what we hoped for, but we'd be happy to stick with lower ISOs for access to the XZ-1's fine glass.
