How to select an Olympus camera


The SP-series



The "SP" here stands for Special Performance, and the shooters that fall under this family have a dSLR-like styling with extensive controls. Defined as a prosumer series, Olympus is looking at shutterbugs who want versatility and power with a small footprint. The snappers offer more creative control with RAW format capture, and the long zoom range and feature-packed specifications should appeal to travelers.

Price range: S$699 (US$514.64)
