<p>A lot of products come out each week we don't highlight all of them, but all of them make it into The Verge Database. In Spec Sheet, a weekly series, we survey the latest product entries to keep track of the state of the art.</p><p>Olympus unveiled the Stylus 1 camera this week, a fairly compact superzoom with a sensor that sits on the larger side of the point-and-shoot spectrum. Buying a superzoom almost always means making concessions on body size, image quality, or versatility in one way or another, and manufacturers have hardly agreed upon what a proper one looks like. Some offer massive zoom ranges, while others go light on the "super" aspect in favor of better image quality. The Stylus 1 seems to land right in the middle of it all. It's $699.99, looks incredibly stylish, and is a bright option in a crowded field that is, if you know what you're looking for.</p><p>Olympus answers Sony with style</p><p>The Stylus 1 is almost Olympus' answer to Sony's RX10. The RX10 is a seriously high-end point-and-shoot that includes a large 1" sensor, a zoom range out to 200mm, and a price tag of $1,299.99. The Stylus 1 is more or less what happens when you take that down a notch: its sensor is smaller at 1/1.7" but its zoom goes out to 300mm, and it's significantly less expensive. Both cameras even have Wi-Fi, some manual controls, and the same f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout their zoom ranges.</p><p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/1/5056566/spec-sheet-olympus-announces-stylus-1-superzoom-point-and-shoot">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.techtree.com/content/news/4887/olympus-stylus-1-aims-dslr-killer.html">Olympus Stylus 1 Aims To Be The Next DSLR Killer</a> (Techtree.com)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d0_0Vhjjv4rUcoMm9RdspGZkhrFZM&ned=us">4 additional articles.</a></p>
