Olympus Releases 8 MP Digital CameraPOSTED May 14, 2005 MELVILLE, NY -- Olympus has released a new digital camera that is both compact and produces high-quality pictures. The Stylus 800 combines an 8.0-megapixel CCD image sensor with Olympus' exclusive image processor, TruePic Turbo, which significantly enhances image quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds for rapid startup, shutter release and playback. TruePic Turbo enables the Stylus 800 to capture information from all 8.0 million pixels with pixel "micro-smoothing" that delivers clearer and more color-accurate photos, even at lower resolutions. The result is superb high-quality images that are consistently sharp and vivid even in large-format prints. The fast startup of less than one second and nearly instant shutter release time ensures a high-speed response so you are always ready to take great pictures. The camera also includes Bright Capture technology for low-light photography. At a compact size of 4.1" (W) x 2.3" (H) x 1.3" (D) the camera fits snugly into a pocket and won't crowd a backpack. "All-weather durability and stylish ergonomic design made the Stylus film cameras the best selling point-and-shoot camera series in history," said Tomoko Matsunaga, product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "The Stylus digital cameras carry on this tradition, and in the latest iteration the Stylus 800 new technology such as Bright Capture and manual exposure control make it uniquely powerful and versatile in its category." The Stylus 800 will have a retail price of $449.99 and will go on sale this July. Included with the camera is a Wrist Strap, Camera WIN/Mac USB Cable, Audio/Video cable, Li-12B Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery and Charger, Quick Start Guide, Basic Instruction Manual, Warranty Card, CD-ROM with OLYMPUS Master Software, and Camera Advanced manual. |
