The Olympus Stylus SH-1 was a camera that I really wanted to like. Its stylish, compact body housed a 24x zoom lens with a rock-solid 5-axis stabilization system, and its touch screen made it incredibly easy to pick a focus spot.

Sharp lens; Raw capture support; 24x zoom range; Excellent build quality; 5-axis image stabilization; Touch-screen LCD; Photo Story and Art Filter modes; 10.4fps burst shooting; Snappy focus; 1080p60 video; Wi-Fi

Purchased this hoping for a decent pocket camera. Wasn't looking for SLR quality as I have several of those. Just looking for some zoom with quality on par with my iPhone 6. Noise is absolutely terrible. Even at iso 150 (the best this camera has) the noise removes most details.

Image Stabilization

Excessive noise; Highly Pixelated Video; Horrible Image Quality

I was excited to finally purchase this, but it was a step down from what I had. I love Olympus products and have owned 3 cameras, point and shoot. This camera is great at taking movies, all the bells and whistles, but the buttons are very tiny.

I have only had this camera for one week but the test shots that I have taken are sharp and the colours are brilliant. Great camera to handle, well balanced even at full zoom. The camera has a load of built in features to cover all your shooting needs.
