Olympus All-Weather Stylus Verve S

Olympus's new Stylus Verve S digital camera features a 5-Megapixel CCD, new calendar and album features and improved battery life.

The Stylus Verve S combines a 5.0-megapixel CCD image sensor with Olympus’ exclusive image processor, TruePic TURBO, which significantly enhances image quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds for rapid startup, shutter release and playback. TruePic TURBO uses pixel “micro-smoothing” to deliver clearer, more color-accurate photos, even at lower resolutions. The result is high quality prints that can be cropped and printed to 11 x 14 inches and larger. And with a fast startup of less than one second and nearly instant shutter release time, you’re always ready to take great pictures.

The bright, clear 1.8-inch HyperCrystal LCD delivers a high contrast image and 160-degree angle of view. So gather your friends around – your photos are viewable from above, from the side, and from below. And while conventional LCD screens appear dim against bright light, the HyperCrystal LCD provides excellent visibility in any light condition – on the beach, under the stars, in the rain, or on the slopes.
