Stylus 730

Olympus announced new cameras on Wednesday in its Stylus, FE and SP lines that will be available in September. All of the cameras include scene modes--camera presets that can be selected for optimum shooting, depending on lighting, motion and other factors surrounding each shot.

The Stylus 730 (with a list price of $399.99) has a 7.1-megapixel CCD (charge coupled device, or image sensor), and a 3x optical zoom. The relatively high resolution of the CCD means that pictures will remain sharp when blown up to a 16-by-20-inch poster-size print.
