Olympus T-10 Review

Olympus T-10 Overview

Posted: 08/18/2010

The Olympus T-10 is a compact, entry-level digital camera based around a 1/2.3-inch type CCD image sensor with ten megapixel resolution. The T-10's imager sits behind an Olympus-branded 3x optical zoom lens that offers focal lengths ranging from a not-very-generous 36mm wide angle to a moderate 108mm telephoto. No optical or mechanical image stabilization is provided in the T-10.

The rear panel of the Olympus T-10 offers up a 2.4-inch LCD display of unspecified resolution, rather smaller than the 3.0-inch panels found on most cameras these days. This display is the only method of framing and reviewing images, since the Olympus T-10 lacks any form of optical or electronic viewfinder.

As well as still images at resolutions up to 3,648 x 2,736 pixels, the Olympus T-10 can also capture standard definition movies at VGA resolution or below, although the frame rate and audio details aren't specified. Images and movies are stored on Secure Digital or SDHC cards, but not the latest SDXC types, which are incompatible with the T-10. Power comes from a pair of AA batteries.

The Olympus T-10 has not been announced in the US market at this time.
