The successor to Olympus?s SP-550 UZ 18x zoom camera heads nine new models due in UK shops during the autumn.<\/p>\n

The eight-million-pixel SP-560 UZ (pictured) sports an 18x optical zoom designed to deliver the 35mm viewing angle equivalent of a 27-486mm lens.<\/p>\n

An optional \u00a3100 teleconverter (TCON-017) and \u00a328 adapter ring (CLA-10) extends zoom power to 826mm. <\/p>\n

If this is used in conjunction with the digital zoom, this is boosted to ?4626mm? focal length equivalent in 35mm terms, according to Olympus.<\/p>\n

Priced around \u00a3350, features are said to include face detection. <\/p>\n

In super macro mode the camera aims to shoot as close as 1cm. Its 2.5in LCD screen boasts a resolution of 230,000 pixels.<\/p>\n

Among a quartet of Mju newcomers is the 12MP Mju 1200, priced \u00a3270 and kitted out with a 2.7in LCD screen, face detection and ?weather-proof? body, along with a 3x optical zoom. <\/p>\n

Joining the Mju stable is the 8MP Mju 820 (\u00a3180), 8MP Mju 830 (\u00a3250) and 7.1MP Mju 790 SW (\u00a3200) ? the latter claimed to be shockproof against falls from 1.5m and waterproof to a pressure equivalent of 3m. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, four new additions to the FE range come in the form of the 12MP FE-300 (\u00a3200), 8MP FE-280 (\u00a3140), 7.1MP FE-290 (\u00a3170) and 7.1MP FE-270 (\u00a3100).<\/p>\n

Face detection appears to be built in to all the models except the FE-270 and FE-290.<\/p>\n

All are due out in September, apart from the SP-560 UZ, Mju 1200 and Mju 830, which are due out in October.<\/p>\n
