Digital Compact Camera
Olympus SP-310
Olympus SP-310
Enthusiast compact from 2005 with manual controls, RAW shooting, and that classic CCD character.
Key specs:
- 7.1MP CCD sensor
- 3x optical zoom (38-114mm equivalent)
- 2.5-inch LCD screen
- RAW + full manual controls
- Runs on 2x AA batteries
- xD-Picture Card / optional microdrive (2GB Included)
The SP-310 was a nicely capable compact for its day - it paired that characterful CCD sensor with proper manual controls and even RAW shooting, which was rare on a compact, making it a favourite for anyone wanting more creative control. That CCD rendering delivers the warm, soft look that's become so popular for the retro-digicam aesthetic.
Battery note: This one really does need good lithium AA batteries to run reliably - standard alkalines drain almost instantly and can cause the camera to shut down or misbehave. Fit quality lithium AAs (or good rechargeables) and it runs happily; it's the single biggest thing to get right with this model.
