<p>The Olympus SH-1 seems at first like any other compact point and shoot camera with a long zoom. But it includes a signature feature usually found in the company's interchangable-lens bodies: 5-axis on-sensor image stabilization.</p><p>The $300 SH-1 has a 16 megapixel, 1/2.3 inch sensor and a equivalent 25-600mm f/3.0-6.3 lens. That means super long 24x zoom capability, aided by the wonderful image stabilization system that works so great on cameras like the Olympus OM-D E-M1.</p><p>Unfortunately, there's not much to recommend the SH-1 beyond the zoom range and stabilization. With a tiny sensor and disappointing aperture range, the SH-1 will have difficulty appealing to most folks looking for top-notch image quality. More and more people are becoming hip to the advantage of larger-sensor cameras, as models like the Sony RX100 and compact interchangeable lens systems proliferate. It's a shame, because the SH-1 looks superbly designed on the outside, with a powerful TruePic VII engine on the inside.</p><p>Other features of the SH-1 include built-in Wi-Fi, full HD video at 60 fps, as well as lower resolution options up to 240 fps. It can do all kinds of point-and-shoot stuff, like apply wacky filters, record time-lapses automatically, and even assemble your photos into montages called Photo Story.</p><p><a href="http://gizmodo.com/olympus-sh-1-high-end-image-stabilization-in-a-point-a-1553944661">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/31/olympus-sh-1/">Olympus brings five-axis image stabilization to the point-and-shoot with $ 400 ...</a> (Engadget)</p><p><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/olympus-stylus-sh-1-point-and-shoot-with-high-end-image-stabilisation-announced">Olympus Stylus SH-1 point-and-shoot with high-end image stabilisation ...</a> (TrustedReviews)</p><p><a href="http://www.twice.com/articletype/news/olympus-adds-tg-3-sh-1-stylus-cameras/110432">Olympus Adds TG-3, SH-1 Stylus Cameras</a> (Twice)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dwcV9jNc3YRIK7MHuL9V77UjM3RLM&authuser=0&ned=us">66 additional articles.</a></p>
