"The original Stylus Verve series was created to inspire creativity and self-expression, redefining the design of digital cameras," said Tomoko Matsunaga, product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "The new Stylus Verve S builds upon that great design to offer more options while continuing the tradition of power, performance, all-weather durability, and exquisite style synonymous with the Olympus Stylus Digital series."
Constructed of durable and lightweight metal, the Olympus Stylus Verve S is equipped with internal rubber gaskets that keep rain and sand out. The 3.7 x 2.2 x 1.1-inch digital camera has a 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 movie mode that shoots 15 frames per second. The movies are limited only by the size of the memory card, which leaves 41 seconds in its highest resolution with the included 16 MB xD-Picture card.
The new Album feature allows users to create up to 12 individual albums of 100 images each. This adds another aspect to the Playback mode, which already included features such as fish eye, soft focus, rotation, resizing, and colors. The new Olympus Stylus Verve S continues in the convention that digital cameras don’t always have to come in rectangular sizes. So now with five megapixels and a few extra features, you can "Find Your Verve" in April 2005.
