Description:

With its slide-away lens cover and aerodynamic design, it's clear at first sight that the Stylus Verve is not just another digital camera shoved into a bulky 35mm point-and-shoot's case. In fact, it's a powerful, easy-to-use, four-megapixel wonder that features a large 1.8-inch LCD display that's viewable even in full sunlight. The Stylus Verve even comes in six colors: blue, red, silver, white, black, and red.

Optics and Resolution
The Stylus Verve features a four-megapixel CCD imager, which can gather enough information to create images approximately as large as 1,714 by 2,286 pixels. In other words, you'll be able to make photo-quality prints of your pictures at sizes up to 11 by 15 inches. The camera's 2x optical zoom lens--equivalent to a 35-70mm lens on a film camera--combines with a 4x digital zoom to simulate the power of an 8x zoom lens, but only at lower resolution settings.

Movie Mode
The Stylus Verve can capture short video clips with sound in the movie mode setting. This feature won't likely persuade anyone to abandon their camcorder, but it is a fun and convenient way to capture movement while you're out taking pictures. The amount of video the Stylus Verve can store is limited only by the amount of memory available.

More Camera Features
Virtual Mode Dial with 10+ shooting modes 1.8-inch semi-transmissive LCD 130k pixel TFT) for taking and viewing pictures (no optical viewfinder) PictBridge enabled -- print directly to any PictBridge-compatible printer, with or without a computer Semi-Transmissive TFT LCD's are multi layered, which allows the image on the LCD to be viewed in direct sunlight situations. Quick View button allows you to review the shot you just took.

Image Processor
The TruePic Turbo image processor enhances color fidelity (the range of color, saturation, and brightness), signal-to-noise response (relationship of accurate electrical signals to unwanted signals like static disturbances creating noise), and high-resolution image clarity (sharpness) over other image processors while speeding up image data processing times. The end result is clearer and more color-accurate photos and noticeably faster startup and shot-to-shot recycle times.

Power
The Stylus Verve is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which is included with a charger.
