Olympus SZ-31MR review

Olympus has packed an incredible amount into this little camera. Top billing goes to the 24x zoom, which puts it in competition with bulky SLR-styled ultra-zoom cameras. Videos are recorded at up to 1080p and 60fps, which is twice the frame rate of most cameras.

The series S cameras from Olympus are meant for travelers and so the idea is to pack in a whole lot of features. And this is exactly what its new SZ-31MR does. Load tones of features and specs into a small point and shoot camera with 16 CMOS sensor, 24x zoom and full HD recording.

Olympus SZ-31MR iHS Digital Camera Review

The Olympus SZ-31MR iHS is a competent, feature-rich travel-zoom, but too few improvements have been made since the SZ-30 to earn our complete recommendation. Given this model's problems with sharpness, distortion, and noise reduction, we think $400 is too much for the resulting image quality.
Pros:
  • Accurate colors
  • Fast burst mode
Cons:
  • Poor sharpness
  • Annoying handling quirk

Olympus' new travel-zoom is feature-rich and a lot of fun.

Olympus' new travel zoom, the SZ-31MR, replaces the SZ-30MR in the company's lineup. This update is relatively minor, offering slight changes to the control layout, a new touchscreen rear monitor, and a small increase in speed.

Extremely pleased with the SZ-31MR iHS

I film and photograph nature and archaeological related events. I have owned Olypus digital super zoom cameras since the Camedia C-740UZ, excellent for its day. I am still using my SP-590UZ and will continue to use it as a backup. I am Very pleased with the SZ-31MR iHS.

Olympus SZ-31 MR

Last year, Olympus released the SZ-30 MR, a kind of "mini bridge" camera with a record-breaking 24x zoom. That camera turned out to be a pretty nice surprise too, even if it was ultimately let down by...
Pros:
  • Record-breaking zoom in a compact camera
  • Lens quality on par with competitors (or better in some cases
  • Pleasant to use and handle
  • Original MR functions (shooting two 720p videos
  • taking a photo while filming video
  • etc.
Cons:
  • Sensitivity could be better: no match for Sony or Canon superzooms
  • Sound gets muffled when you zoom in video mode
  • Hard plastics aren't as pleasant as materials in some competitor models
  • No battery guide to make sure you get it in the right way round

Olympus SZ-31MR

The Olympus SZ-MR31 is up against some pretty stiff competition in this category. It appears to be a good camera, but it does not really stand out, especially at the price. It is most likely to appeal to you if you are looking for a camera with extra lens power, but is quite easy to use.
Pros:
  • Ease of use
  • size to zoom ratio
  • stereo sound
  • fast burst mode
Cons:
  • No manual exposure controls
