New Olympus SP-320 Digital Camera

The new Olympus SP-320 7.1 megapixel digital camera features more than 30 shooting modes, manual settings, ergonomic design, and a range of add-on accessory lenses, flashes, and an underwater housing.

At a compact size of just 3.9 " W x 2.6" H x 1.4" D and weighing less than 200 grams, Olympus SP-320 tucks away easily into a pocket or backpack. And the ergonomic grip makes it easy to hold and steady the camera with one hand for fast and easy shooting.

The PT-030 underwater housing is created specially for the SP-series camera - so you can take your camera with you on your underwater excursions. The large 2.5-inch LCD monitor, compact body size, and three underwater scene modes make it the perfect camera to take along diving.

Olympus' SP-series cameras feature a threaded barrel, which enables easy attachment of add-on wide-angle or telephoto conversion lenses for even more creative control. Compatible accessory lenses include the WCON-07F wide angle lens, which enables a wider field of view (26.6mm equivalent) for shooting skylines, landscapes or group shots, and the TCON-17F telephoto conversion lens, which extends the camera's magnification capability by 1.7 times (196mm equivalent) for bringing subjects dramatically closer, great for shooting sports events, concerts or wildlife.

The SP-320 will be available in March 2005 at an estimated street price of $299.99.
