Like the whole VR range, the VR-320 is all about value. The priceless value of capturing high-quality movies and stills with no effort at all - and the unbeatable value for money of a super-slim compact camera that’s packed with fun-filled technical wizardry. A powerful 12.5x super wide 24-300mm* optical zoom lens and advanced automatic features deliver brilliant images for the lowest possible price, no skill required. The competition would love to know how Olympus engineers managed to squeeze a zoom lens of this power and precision into a slender compact that measures just 19.3mm deep. Because when you want to capture special shots, the big zoom makes all the difference. Whether it’s a radiant 14 Megapixel still photo or a blur-free movie in 720p HD, the VR-320 lets you zoom way out wide or right up close for just the picture you want. And like the other VR Series cameras, it doesn’t come with unnecessary add-ons that only add to the price. Just clever, practical features that make it easier to take great pictures. In addition to Dual Image Stabilisation (virtually eliminates blurring), there’s i-Auto and Shadow Adjustment Technology that automatically pick the right settings for tricky conditions or subjects. The VR-320 also has seven of the Magic Filters featured on Olympus’ high-end cameras, so you can get creative and add artistic effects to your shots at the touch of a button.

 


 

Salient Features for Olympus VR-320 Digital Camera

Camera Design
Once again, Olympus’ optical engineers have the competition scratching their heads, wondering how they managed to squeeze a precision 12.5x super wide optical zoom lens (24-300mm) into a beautifully slim compact camera that measures just 19.3mm deep (with the zoom retracted). Stand the Olympus VR-320 next to another camera with a 12x zoom and it becomes clear what a big difference a few millimetres can make.

14 megapixel
And the Olympus VR320 still gives their users the added flexibility of a category-busting super wide zoom lens that can zoom way out wide or right up close - and capture all those special shots that slim cameras normally can’t. Whether it’s a radiant 14 Megapixel still photo or a blur-free movie in 720p HD, in this price bracket it’s hard to see how picture quality could get any better.
