Melville, NY - Olympus America Inc. is pleased to introduce the Accura Zoom 80S compact camera. Along with the versatility of a 38-80mm zoom lens, the Accura Zoom 80S showcases the new highly stylized design of the Olympus Accura Series, with a starry-metallic finish and slim, elegant lines. It also offers a full complement of features that add up to superior performance at an affordable price.

Stylish and portable, the Accura Zoom 80S is the right choice for nearly every occasion. Its outstanding cost performance reflects a very affordable price combined with a compact and lightweight design, a 38-80mm 2x-plus zoom lens and a number of functions.

Designed for high resolution and compact lines, a high-performance aspherical lens holds down the size of the lens group. With this miniaturization, the body is exceptionally slim with a depth of only 1.6 inches.

A sliding lens barrier enhances both convenience and style, while a starry-metallic finish adds to the good looks. There is also the convenience of four flash modes including Red-Eye Reducing and full-range Auto Macro for shooting images up to B5-size (7.2 x 10.1inches) from as close as 2 feet.
