Olympus Stylus 1s: Olympus brings Stylus 1s Also Outside Japan!
The good news is that the Stylus 1s is 100 dollars less expensive than its predecessor model and thus falls just below the 500 dollar mark. The Stylus 1s has an optical 10.7x zoom with a frame-equivalent focal length range of 28 to 300 millimetres at a continuous light intensity of F2.8. The effective 5-axis image stabiliser with a movable image sensor is also on board. The back-illuminated 1/1.7″ CMOS sensor has a resolution of a good 12 megapixels. With the optional wide-angle converter WCON-08X the focal length can be reduced to 22.4 millimetres, while the optional tele-converter TCON-17X extends the final focal length to 510 millimetres in 35 mm equivalent. The zoom can be adjusted using the lever on the shutter release button or the lever on the side of the lens. A step zoom can be activated and instead of the zoom factor, the 35 mm equivalent focal length can be displayed on the screen or in the viewfinder, this function was already included in the firmware update 2.0 for the Stylus 1.

The rear screen measures 7.5 centimetres diagonally and has a resolution of over one million pixels. It is touch-sensitive and can be folded up almost horizontally and down by approx. 45 degrees, so that you can easily keep an eye on the subject even from perspectives close to the ground and overhead. One highlight is the electronic viewfinder with 1.44 million pixels resolution. Thanks to the proximity sensor, it is automatically activated as soon as you take the camera to your eye. The Stylus 1s has both an intelligent automatic, as well as motif programmes and the classic creative programmes P, A, S and M. The familiar Art Filters also allow individual alienation of the shots. In addition to the exposure parameters, the focus can also be adjusted manually if desired. This is where focus peaking, a colored marking of the plane of sharpness, comes in handy. But the 35-point autofocus can also be configured. Thus, for example, a group of nine measuring fields can be controlled or a single focus field. This can also be reduced in size and placed on a scene detail on the display with a fingertip, practical for macro shots, for example.

Furthermore, the Stylus 1s has a hot shoe, WLAN for image transmission and remote control from the smartphone via app as well as an interval function for photos and videos. Speaking of video, the Stylus 1s records 30 frames per second in Full HD resolution and stores them at 20 Mbps in H.264-compressed MOV format. Optionally, it is also possible to switch to simple HD resolution (1,280 x 720 instead of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels); the frame rate is also 30 frames per second. But there are also some minor changes to the case. It is still made of metal and looks very similar to the previous model. However, the new texture is supposed to give the body a better grip and the lens now has the blue ring of the high-end Zuiko Digital lens series. The Stylus 1s is still unrivalled in terms of the ratio of body size to image sensor and compact, fast super-zoom lens.
In early summer 2015 the Olympus Stylus 1s became available in black at a price of just under 500 dollars.
