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.

Olympus SZ-31MR review
Camera manufacturers are always looking for new ways to woo customers, but Olympus has really pushed the boat out with the SZ-31MR. The 24x optical zoom is the star of the show – it's the biggest we've ever seen in a pocket-sized camera.

- Numerous modes and features to play with
- Solidly built and well designed
- Excellent zoom range

Cons:
- Slightly indented power button
- Screen gets warm after little use

Olympus SZ-31MR iHS
Magic Filters are available in both photo and video mode. Other cameras offer similar special effects (to make your shots look like watercolor or pop art, for example) but the Olympus' are a "real treat ... remarkably convincing," Snow says.
Pros:
- 24x zoom
- Loaded with fun features and special effects
- Fast performance
Cons:
- Photo quality gets mixed reviews
- Touch screen can be unresponsive and hard to see
- Disappointing audio in movie mode
- Limited manual controls

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

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
