Was a high-end compact digital camera (when it was launched). Equipped with an F2.0 large-aperture 3× zoom lens. The series evolved through the 3030 and 4040 models, which had higher CCD resolutions, and the 5060 and 8080 models, which were equipped with wide-angle zoom lenses.
About 3 months after the launch of the C-1, Olympus introduced the C-1 Zoom, which has a similar body size but is equipped with a 3× zoom lens. Also known as D-150Z.
Has tilt-angle screen that can flip up to face forward for selfies or waist-level work (no other waterproof compact cameras have featured it). 21-105mm, the widest among waterproof cameras. TruePic VII processing engine, and speedy 7.1 frames per second burst shooting.[2] Dual image stabilization: sensor-shift image stabilization system, high ISO sensitivity, fast focus in a blink of an eye. Full HD 60p. Time lapse.[3] 30 feet or 10 meters underwater capability.
Near identical with TG-850 with additional WiFi and GPS and also improvement to 50 feet or 15 meters underwater capability. Sportcam mode to compete with action cameras. New programmable function button on the front of the camera, and the movie record button on the back is now programmable, allowing quicker access to important functions.[4]
Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS was a high-end rugged, waterproof compact camera with 25-100mm equivalent F2.0-4.9 zoom lens. The TG-1 is tougher than previous Tough models, being waterproof to 12m (40ft) and shockproof from a height of 2m (6.6ft) and had optional waterproof fisheye and telephoto converter lenses. The TG-1 iHS was built around a 1/2.3"-type 12MP back-lit CMOS sensor and a TruePic VI processor to make the most of its output.[5]
The Tough TG-4 is a significant upgrade over its predecessor with the addition of Raw support. Olympus' cool 'Live Composite mode', a pair of custom setting spots on the mode dial, and additional underwater modes are also new features.[8]
Olympus Tough TG-6 has higher resolution LCD, additional macro and underwater modes, and focus bracketing than previous model. Improvements have also been made to reduce ghosting and flare.[10]

Olympus Corporation is a Japanese manufacturer of optics and reprography products. Olympus was established on 12 October 1919, initially specializing in microscopes and thermometers. Olympus holds roughly a 70 percent share of the global endoscope market, estimated to be worth approximately US$2.5 billion. Its global headquarters are located in Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan.
The Four Thirds System is a standard created by Olympus and Eastman Kodak for digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) design and development. Four Thirds refers to both the size of the image sensor (4/3") as well as the aspect ratio (4:3). The Olympus E-1 was the first Four Thirds DSLR, announced and released in 2003. In 2008, Olympus and Panasonic began publicizing the Micro Four Thirds system, a mirrorless camera system which used the same sensor size; by eliminating the reflex mirror, the Micro Four Thirds cameras were significantly smaller than the Four Thirds cameras. The first Micro Four Thirds cameras were released in 2009 and the final Four Thirds cameras were released in 2010; by that time, approximately 15 Four Thirds camera models had been released by Olympus and Panasonic in total. The Four Thirds system was quietly discontinued in 2017, six years after the final cameras were released.
The xD-Picture Card is an obsolete form of flash memory card, used in digital cameras made by Olympus, Fujifilm, and Kodak during the 2000s. The xD in the xD-Picture Card stands for eXtreme Digital.
The Digital IXUS is a series of digital cameras released by Canon. It is a line of ultracompact cameras, originally based on the design of Canon's IXUS/IXY/ELPH line of APS cameras.
U10D,S300D,u300D is a camera model designator for a digital cameras in the mju series manufactured by Olympus, which were sold by the names "μ-10 Digital" in Japan, "μ300 Digital" in Europe, and "Stylus 300 Digital" in North America. This text string is among the information embedded by the camera in the coding of the .JPEG image, mostly to help a computer find a compatible program to open it if it's not properly suffixed.
Digital Photography Review, also known as DPReview, is a website about digital cameras and digital photography, established in November 1998. The website provides comprehensive reviews of digital cameras, lenses and accessories, buying guides, user reviews, and forums for individual cameras, as well as general photography forums. The website also has a database with information about individual digital cameras, lenses, printers and imaging applications. Originally based in London, Digital Photography Review and most of its team relocated to Seattle, Washington, in 2010. It was owned by Amazon from 2007 to 2023.
A mirrorless camera is a digital camera which, in contrast to DSLRs, does not use a mirror in order to ensure that the image presented to the photographer through the viewfinder is identical to that taken by the camera. They have come to replace DSLRs, which have historically dominated interchangeable lens cameras. Other terms include electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens (EVIL) cameras and compact system cameras (CSCs).

At the time it was announced, it had a US dollar MSRP of $599.99. As with earlier PEN models, the E-PL2 is aimed in between the point-and-shoot and D-SLR markets.
