Olympus Stylus SP-100 was announced in 2014 and is a 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm) Bridge camera with 16 Megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor. Its native ISO ranges from 125 to 6,400 and expands to 125 - 12,800 in boosted mode. The camera has a Fixed 3.0" screen with 460k dot resolution and built-in Electronic viewfinder with 920k dot resolution. It has an image stabilization.
Olympus Stylus SP-100 can capture video up to 1920 x 1080 resolution.
In this section we present pros and cons of Olympus Stylus SP-100.
And here are some specifications which fall into average criteria and are neither in PROs nor in CONs category:
Olympus Stylus SP-100 has a 3.0" Fixed screen with 460k dot resolution which is quite low by today's standards.
Camera has a built-in Electronic viewfinder with 920k dot resolution. It has a 100% coverage.
Olympus Stylus SP-100 features a 16 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm2. Its native ISO range is 125 - 6,400 and expands to 125 - 12,800 in boosted mode.
The camera has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.
Camera can take pictures up to 4608 x 3456 resolution.
The camera has an image stabilization.
Olympus Stylus SP-100 has Near Field Communication (NFC) technology which simplifies the process of pairing it with other NFC-enabled devices like smartphones or tablets. It allows to quickly transfer photos and videos or remotely control the camera from compatible device. NFC can also be used for authentication and security purposes. It can verify your identity before accessing certain features or transferring sensitive data. It can be used with NFC-enabled accessories as well, such as lenses, flashes and GPS devices.
