This season sees the arrival of two powerful yet elegant additions to the award-winning Olympus [mju:] series.
These charming new models marry first-rate design with innovative technological advances to form the ideal combination of performance and style. Their striking colours and slim metallic bodies are augmented by outstanding image quality and processing speed thanks to Olympus' advancedTruePic III image processor.
Meanwhile, Dual Image Stabilisation provides double-barrelled protection against blur caused by camera shake - which comes in especially handy at the high levels of magnification these cameras provide.
In addition, intelligent solutions such as Face Detection Technology have been integrated to ensure the flawless depiction of human subjects by automatically determining optimal exposure and sharpness settings.
The 840 packs 8.0 Megapixels and features a powerful 5x optical zoom (equiv. to 36-180mm). The 1010 boasts 10.1 Megapixels and a 7x optical zoom (equiv. to 37-260mm).
