It's not just retro styling that's making its way from the Olympus flagship mirrorless line-up to its compact cameras. Some of the high-end tech is, too. The recently announced Stylus SH-1 is a 24x zoom camera which boasts built-in Wi-Fi, a TruePic VII image processor, and the 5-axis mechanical image stabilization which was originally developed for the Olympus OM-D E-M5

Design-wise, the Stylus SH-1 looks like an even smaller version of the Olympus PEN E-P5, which in turn paid homage to the 50-year-old PEN F. The classic styling and use of aluminum alloy for its top and controls mean it could easily be confused for part of the Olympus mirrorless family, and is arguably one of the better-looking compact cameras on the market.

The 24x optical zoom lens (F3-F8.7) of the SH-1 is paired with a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch-type CMOS sensor to give a 35-mm-format focal length equivalent of 25-600-mm. Olympus's well-regarded 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization is used to help ensure crisp images and video, something that will come in handy when shooting at slower shutter speeds or longer focal lengths without a tripod.

Also arriving from the Olympus OM-D series of interchangeable lens cameras is the TruePic VII image processor, which promises high-quality images with superior color reproduction and high sensitivity. This also allows burst shooting at up to 11 fps in full resolution, Full HD 1080p 60fps video recording, and an ISO range of 100-6,400.

Measuring 109 x 63 ｘ 42 mm (4.3 x 2.5 x 1.7 inches) and weighing 271 g (9.5 oz) the SH-1 is portable while offering full manual control settings. It also has a 3-inch, rear touchscreen with 460k dots, and built-in Wi-Fi for instant sharing and remote shooting with the iOS and Android Olympus Image Share apps.
