As a rugged, fearless traveling companion, the Olympus Stylus 1050SW fits the bill right down to its sturdy, black metallic design. Like any respectable all-weather camera, it's waterproof, shockproof, and freezeproof. What makes the 1050SW stand out is its innovative Tap control system. Have you ever been in the middle of skydiving only to find out that your camera's flash is on? The Tap control system allows you to shut off the flash, among other things, by simply tapping certain areas of camera's body. With the 1050SW, you never have to worry about your pictures being ruined just because you don't have time to fiddle with buttons and menus. Tap away. | ||||||||

At first glance, the only difference between the SP-565 UZ and its illustrious predecessor, the SP-570 UZ, is the price. Looking closer, there are a few noticeable downgrades: no RAW file format, smaller ISO range, and lower frame rate. More importantly, though, the SP-565 UZ matches the phenomenal 20x optical zoom of the SP-570 UZ. And if you're in the market for an ultra-zoom camera, you'll want the most powerful zoom in your price range. For those who can sacrifice some extra features for a substantial reduction in price, the Olympus SP-565 UZ is an affordable—and capable—alternative to the SP-570 UZ. | ||||||||

It doesn't have any innovative or outstanding features like the other two cameras, but the Olympus FE-370 is a well-rounded, ultra-compact digital camera. Only casual users need apply, but don't be fooled, the FE-370 has some advanced features for an ultracompact camera. Dual Image Stabilization—both mechanical and digital—lends the FE-370 an unparalleled level of stabilization among utltracompacts, and the 5x optical zoom and 8-megapixel capability place the camera at the top of its class for the most basic features. With the FE-370, Olympus gives casual users superb picture quality while keeping usability simple. |
