Olympus Stylus 780 Review - Laptop Mag
Laptop Magazine have published a review of the compact Olympus Stylus 780 digital camera. 'The Stylus 780 is the first point-and-shoot to use Olympus' new digital processing engine, the TruePic III Image Processor. This technology allows for mechanical image stabilization (MIS), which helps steady the shot by allowing the image sensor to move along the X- and Y-axes and compensate for movement by the photographer. We took photos of the Manhattan skyline using the Night Scene mode (which took all photos at a four-second exposure and ISO 250), and while the MIS helped steady a freehand shot, the photo was still blurry, though less so than with the MIS off. When we did the same test with the camera rested on a sturdy ledge, the MIS compensated for our shaky hand movement when pushing the shutter to remove any blur we saw without MIS, helping us get a perfect shot.'
