Olympus Superzoom 700 XB

Specs / Camera Info

The SUPERZOOM 700XB is an upgraded version of the earlier SUPERZOOM 700 BF which won worldwide popularity.  Even with its high-performance 2x zoom lens and large, easy-to-use viewfinder, the SUPERZOOM 700XB is very reasonably priced. Finished in black, it comes with a wide range of other features including a Landscape Mode. The 38-70 mm coverage of the 2x zoom lens is suited to the most common photographic situations, from shooting portraits to landscapes. To ensure high-quality results, the new model is equipped with the same lens used in high-end Olympus compact cameras-a design that has earned wide acclaim for its outstanding optical performance. With its clear, natural image, the large viewfinder simplifies composition. The sliding lens barrier not only protects the lens thoroughly, but also means that the camera can be taken along without having to be kept in a case. The SUPERZOOM 700XB's value for money is also apparent in the Landscape Mode for capturing distant subjects, the Red-Eye Reduction Lamp for flash portraits and a battery check function.
