The Olympus Stylus 760 ships from February 2007, priced at $249.99 The Olympus Stylus 760 faultless weather camera is a sleek, not burdensome to snag camera built because the enthusiast photographer. It has the trivial Olympus styling, stock to their Stylus models as some fitness now, which allows substantive to soft slip into any pocket for easy access. This model features a 3x zoom lens with a 37-111mm equivalent focal length and a F3.4 to F5.7 maximum aperture. This is coupled with a 7.1 megapixel imager that's mounted on a carrier that can move in two directions, allowing for sensor-shift type image stabilization.
This can be a great help for getting blur-free images under dim lighting, although I didn't think the 760's IS was as good as that of some other cameras I've played with. Additionally, there's what Olympus calls "Digital Image Stabilization" -- where the camera's gyro sensor detects the amount of camera shake, and correction is made in software by compensating with blur removal after the exposure. This type of blur reduction is less effective than that accomplished by moving the sensor, but in combination with an increased light sensitivity setting and the faster shutter speeds that permits, as well as tweaks in the camera's image sharpening algorithm, it does help somewhat.
