The Olympus SH-50 is a pocket-sized long-zoomer with one or two cool features. That's all.
It's great to see some of the features from the company's flagship cameras trickle down through Olympus' lineup, but 5-axis video stabilization will not make or break the SH-50. Frankly this just isn't a very interesting camera.

[REVIEW-OLYMPUS STYLUS SH-50compact camera]
This 16mp compact camera has a 25–600mm (film equivalent) lens with dual image stabilisation for stills and multi axis stabilisation for movies. The attractive body with metal and (faux) leather touches feels solid and comfortable.

Worth the Longest Wait
Beautiful form meets ultimate function in this camera and that's no exageration. I have had five digital cameras before this including an Olympus PEN that I liked very well. None has had the full features in a convenient size as this one does.

Best Camera I've Ever Owned
Beautiful form meets ultimate function in this camera and that's no exageration. I have had five digital cameras before this one, including an interchangeable lens micro 4/3rds Olympus that I liked very well. None has had the full features in a convenient size as this one does.

SuperZoom; but laggy software and noisy images
I had high hopes waiting for the SH-50 to arrive; I am a big fan of the Canon PowerShot SX280 which is a similar superzoom format camera. The reasons for my high hopes are that the lens is fractionally quicker and the zoom is 20% longer.

Olympus SH-50MR
In early 2013 Olympus announced the SH-50 iHS, "a new premium, compact long zoom camera" with a host of impressive features trickled down from their flagship Micro Four Thirds cameras (like the OM-D E-M5).

Olympus Stylus SH-50 review
We always like products that do something different, but we rate them for quality rather than novelty value. That's why it's a particular treat to find a camera that stands out from the crowd in ways that are genuinely useful, which the Olympus Stylus SH-50 does.

I purchased this camera as a point and shoot alternative to my Canon SLR. I wanted a small camera with big zoom that could take sharp images and could record decent video. What sold me on it is the new Olympus 5-axis image stabilization.
