Olympus introduces SZ-31MR and SH-25MR to its Traveller series

Olympus’ Traveller series is joined today by two new compact cameras, the SZ-31MR and SH-25MR compact cams.

The SZ-31MR (pictured above) packs in a 16MP sensor, a shiny new dual engine TruePic V image processor and the same Olympus iHS tech found in the recently announced TG-820 and TG-620 Tough compacts, giving you clearer images in poor lighting conditions.

The SZ-31MR also features a mighty 24x optical zoom, impressive for a camera of its size. 1080p video recording and a 3in touchscreen with touch auto-focusing rounds off the spec sheet nicely; you can grab one from late March for £300.

Also joining the Traveller series is the SH-25M which packs in a respectable 12.5x optical zoom as well as the same 16MP sensor, iHS technology and 1080p video recording as its 24x optical zoom-toting sibling.

GPS is an added bonus to the SH-25M’s feature list and although it will be arriving a month later in April, it will arrive sporting a slightly lower price tag of £230.
