Olympus Imaging announces the new Olympus SZ-11 compact digital camera that is perfect for travel and sports events. The Olympus SZ-11 digital camera features a 20x ultra-zoom lens, DUAL IS and HD video recording. Thanks to the advanced optical expertise, Olympus has been able to incorporate in the compact, palm-size SZ-11 camera the same super-telephoto capability that normally makes digital SLR cameras so bulky and heavy. Because it is so slim, the Olympus SZ-11 camera is an ideal travelling companion, offering the power of a full-size camera and lenses without increasing the amount of luggage.

Olympus SZ-11: Zoom

The Olympus SZ-11 is an easy-to-use "all-in-one" camera that makes it possible anyone to enjoy the pleasure of advanced photography. The Olympus SZ-11 covers a remarkably wide shooting range with focal lengths ranging from 25mm wide-angle to 500mm telephoto with the super-telephoto 20x optical zoom lens. The Olympus SZ-11 can capture big, up-close images of even the most distant subjects, creating high-impact pictures by capturing details that cannot be seen with the naked eye, such as the facial expressions of children in athletic or theatrical events or athletes in professional sport competitions.

Olympus SZ-11: Photo & Video

To reduce the picture blur commonly associated with telephoto shooting effectively, the Olympus SZ-11 features DUAL IS using a CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism and high-sensitivity image capturing. The Olympus SZ11 digital camera also features dedicated Movie REC button to immediately shooting movies and Magic Movies to enhance your camera life. Moreover, you can enjoy the Olympus SZ-11 in your usual life as well as with the full array of functions such as 3D Photos, Beauty Mode, Beauty Make, and Pet Mode.

Olympus SZ-11: HD video

High-quality movies are available in 1280 x 720-pixel HD quality. Video recording can be manipulated by a dedicated movie REC button. The Olympus SZ11 also offers a multi-motion function for stabilizing the image during movie shooting while walking.

Olympus SZ-11: Magic Filters

The Olympus SZ-11 camera features an expanded range of 10 Magic Filters, Pop, Pin Hole, Fisheye, Drawing, Soft Focus, Punk, Watercolor and Sparkle inherited from the previous model, and newly added Reflection and Miniature.
