In the quest to stamp its authority in the digital camera market, Olympus has just unveiled a behemoth of a model in the all new SP-510 UZ, a 7 MegaPixel 10X Zoom Digital camera which is all set to hit the stores in September 2006.

The Olympus SP-510UZ is a 7.1 MegaPixel digital camera with a jaw dropping 10x Optical zoom (equiv. to 38-380mm on a 35mm model). With the powerful zoom, you can capture the extremely far away objects by bringing them close and the 7.1 MegaPixel resolution ensures exceptionally sharp pictures with stunning detail. That's not all, it also has a special Fine Zoom option that boosts magnification to a phenomenal 15x, which corresponds to a total focal range of 38-570mm (on a 35mm camera), that is when in 3.0 million pixel mode.

The camera features a large 6.4cm LCD for clear viewing of captured images. The users can also take pictures in low light conditions, thanks to BrightCapture technology. It boosts the ISO value to a striking 4000*, which lessens the need to use the flash and helps avoid blurry images due to camera shake. 21 pre-defined scene modes are available to ensure the best results in a wide range of shooting environments and situations. You can also explore more in your camera and experiment as well with numerous manual control options that is offered. Images can be stored on the xD-Picture Card slot as well as the model’s internal memory. The Camera is set to hit the shelves in September 2006. No word on the pricing as yet and don't expect it to come cheap.
