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.
A fine camera
during travelling on holiday and also for day outings to places of interest- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Simple Controls
- Bulky
Clear, sharp pictures. Image stabilization is fantastic. Super-macro AAA+++
I love this camera. Between the fine lens and the image stabilization it takes wonderful clear pictures. Video is nice too but the only thing so far that I am not fond of is the sound quality not being very good.
great point and shoot camera
outstanding point and shoot camera, compact size with fantastic zoom. battery life is good. Only problem was free case that best buy included was way too small for camera to fit into- easy set up
- simple to use
- good battery life
- compact size
- killer zoom

Olympus SH-50
The Olympus Stylus SH-50 is a high performance digital compact camera that's packed full of tech. If the 24x optical zoom, FullHD video recording and touch screen shooting aren't enough, the SH-50 is the first of its kind to feature the 5-axis image stabilisation system, normally only seen in DSLRs.

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.
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-50 iHS
Big zoom in point and shoot cameras is quite a rage these days. If you have a sub 20K budget, there are quite a few snappers you can consider. The Olympus Stylus XZ-10 had been a disappointment as far as User experience is concerned.- Ultra Slow-mo video capture
- Decent low-light shots
- 24X optical zoom with IS
- Wi-Fi support only via Eye-Fi cards
- Macro images lack detail
- Over-saturtation of images
