Well, a bit of them all really! The retro style and creative control of a DSLR, the size and viewfinder of a CSC, the all-in-one design and powerful 28-300mm f2.8 zoom of a bridge camera and the slim (only 52mm thick!) dimensions and large sensor of an enthusiast compact - the best of all world!

The new Olympus Stylus 1 must be the perfect travel camera for ambitious photographers. The DSLR styling gives a comfortable, assured feel and the amazing 28-300mm (Full frame equivalent) f2.8 (throughout the range) zoom lens covers most photographic situations. The large viewfinder has come from the award winning OM-D E-M5 and gives a bright, high definition, 1.44 million dot image.

Behind is a large, bright, flip out LCD that allows for waist level shooting and macro work and has Live View. The Stylus 1 features full DSLR creative control and a large array of creative effects, including 11 Art Filters and 5 different frame and art effects.

And for those wishing to take high quality movies, the Stylus 1 features 1080p Full HD with sound and high speed movie recording. Another feature taken from the OM-D E-M5 is the built-in WiFi and OI.Share software for real-time smartphone access.
