Olympus XZ-10 announced with Price, Specs, Release Date

Olympus XZ-10

Olympus has announced the new Olympus Stylus XZ-10 at CP+ Show. It’s built around a 26-130mm equivalent 1:1.8-2.7 lens, coupled with a 12MP 1/2.3″ type backlit CMOS sensor that offers ISOs up to 6400 and sensor-shift image stabilisation. It can record 1080p Full HD movies with stereo sound, with Multi-motion Movie IS to reduce blur while walking. The 3″ 920k dot LCD is touch-sensitive, but unlike the XZ-2‘s doesn’t tilt, which helps make the camera slimmer.
