Olympus SH-25MR review

The SH-25MR is a bit of an oddball. Its 12.5x zoom lens is nothing special by today's standards, with competing cameras having zooms between 15x and 24x. It clearly wants to be seen as part of the pocket ultra-zoom crowd because Olympus lists it under...

Excels at video, less so at photos, but with GPS and simultaneous photo and video capture, this is a great camera at an attractive price

Olympus SH-25MR Review

Olympus' SH-25MR is another digital camera aimed at the ‘traveller-class' according to the makers, designed to offer a balance between budget and shooting kit. Does it achieve this balance?

Zoom range, High-speed shooting, Touch screen AF. GPS and Compass system, Battery life, Colour capture performance, Low ISO image quality

Grip needs a rubberised, grippier surface, Soft images at corners and image edges, Skin tones in portraits, Odd flash control, Display visibility in bright conditions

Olympus SH-25MR

The Olympus SH-25MR has a lot going for it. It is cheaper than most other cameras in this category. There are compromises that have been made to keep the price down, but it may be a case that some of the compromises are unimportant to you. To start...
