Olympus recently announced the 8.0-megapixel SP-350 with specialized features that enable photographers of all skill levels to express their creative vision. This high resolution camera features a new 3x optical zoom lens designed specifically for digital that provides the equivalent of 38 to 114mm focal length with a Super Macro Mode that captures details from as close as 2 cm. It also offers the option of either manual settings for creative control or 30 selectable snapping modes, along with optional add-on accessory lenses, an optional underwater housing, and a large, easy-to-view 2.5-inch premium size LCD. The SP-350 has a hot shoe for external flashes, providing additional versatility when difficult lighting is an issue.

CNET today released their Olympus SP-350 Review rating this digicam 6.6 out of 10 or Good.

“If you’re looking for a full-featured, moderately priced high-resolution camera, the Olympus SP-350 certainly qualifies. But if you’re concerned about performance or photo quality, it’s probably worth spending a little extra on a competitor. “
