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.

Great "all in one"
I have had several Olympus cameras and had good luck with all of them. Received the SZ-31MR just before a trip to Victoria, BC in September. Beautiful weather and the city was still green with lots of flowers.

Definitely a Good Buy!!!
I purchased this camera after spending weeks and weeks on researching the right one and trawling through all sorts of customer reviews on various websites (which review/ compare cameras).

The absolute perfect point and shoot camera!
The optical zoom is unmatched for a point and shoot. The features/modes are unparalleled. The sunrise/sunset mode, low light/slow aperture, self portrait, sparkle, and the 3D mode stand out and are endless entertainment.

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.

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
