Olympus SZ-31MR iHS

 

Olympus gives the SZ-30 a light update, resulting in a solid but expensive travel-zoom.

Accurate colors; Fast burst mode

Poor sharpness; Annoying handling quirk

The Olympus SZ-31MR iHS is a competent, feature-rich travel-zoom, but too few improvements have been made since the SZ-30 to earn our complete recommendation. Given this model’s problems with sharpness, distortion, and noise reduction, we think $400 is...

Olympus SZ-31MR Review

 

Overall, as a travel zoom with 24x optical zoom and a 16 megapixel sensor packed together with dual TruPic processors, the SZ-31MR does deliver decent image quality during the daytime. However, low light quality can take a hit especially if the ISO...

Best ergonomics we have experienced so far, Very intuitive user interface, Largest optical zoom in class (24x), Little jpg artefact

Noisy AF, Too pricey compared to competitors

Olympus SZ-31MR Digital Camera Review

 

The Olympus SZ-31MR is a do it all feature packed travel camera that will not disappoint the eager traveller or family snapper who likes their images sharp and contrasty without having to lug around a heavier bulkier camera. The two biggest pluses were...

Olympus SZ-31MR

 

With its blend of pleasing photos, quality build, compact body and high-res screen, this Olympus is an excellent camera.

Lovely images ; High speed photography ; Relatively compact ; High-res screen

Multi-recording is mostly a gimmick ; Soft details at 10x-plus

With its blend of pleasing photos (at lower zoom levels), quality build, compact body and high-res screen, this Olympus is an excellent camera, although most of the SZ-31MR's multi-record functions are needless gimmicks.

Olympus SZ-31 MR

 

Numerous modes and features to play with, Solidly built and well designed, Excellent zoom range, Autofocus is fast and accurate

Slightly indented power button, Screen gets warm after little use

This, along with the fact that there aren’t Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority modes onboard,  only reinforced our sense that the camera is aimed at the casual shooter looking for a full featured snapper, that can offer a myriad of creative modes....

Olympus SZ-31MR

 

The Olympus SZ-MR31 is up against some pretty stiff competition in this category. It appears to be a good camera, but it does not really stand out, especially at the price. It is most likely to appeal to you if you are looking for a camera with extra...

The final say for this camera is that it is a good option for the people who need a bit more than just point and shoot. Equipped with smart features this is a good value for money.

Olympus SZ-31MR Review

 

Olympus's SZ-31MR is the latest compact travel-zoom digital camera from Olympus, with a whopping 24x zoom and 16 megapixel sensor. We find out if it's any good.

Big zoom in a little body, Handling, Full 1080p video recording, Good battery life, Fast, High-speed shooting, Touch Focus via display,Excellent colour reproduction

Images are soft in corners and edges, Portraits aren't the best, Noise suppression smears details and colour at higher ISOs, Underpowered flash, Noticeable Redeye on many indoor portraits
