Olympus Stylus SH-3 1/2.3" Compact Camera (2016)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Olympus Stylus SH-3 is an affordable 1/2.3" compact camera with a large zoom range. Introduced by Olympus in 2016, it comes with a 1/2.3" sensor with 16 MP (4608 x 3456) resolution.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. One should note that the Stylus SH-3 has a 125 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The 11.5 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
Olympus has endowed this compact camera with a 24x zoom lens, which can be quite useful for travels. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.
