We don’t care much about digital cameras but the Olympus AIR A01 got our attention because it’s a micro four-thirds style camera that comes with a 16 megapixel sensor, silent shutter, and its own smartphone app. The last item means the camera can be controlled from any smartphone or tablet running the said app. Reaching Canada and America simultaneously, the Olympus AIR A01 is another compact camera that brings great image quality every time.
The DSLR-like quality camera also boasts of built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, 10 fps Consecutive Shooting, USB charging, and Full HD Video capabilities. The camera also features Amazon Cloud Drive integration so you can easily store photos and videos on the cloud to free up your cam’s memory space. This micro 4/3’s camera makes use of M.ZUIKO digital lenses most Olympus products are known for. Add that to the TruePic VII image processor, you can expect to capture high quality photos even in low light conditions.
You can use any professional lens with the Olympus AIR A01 for all your photography needs. Shoot in any style with those wide-angle landscape lenses or high-powered zoom lenses. And since a dedicated app is ready, the ‘OA.Central for Olympus Air’ lets you easily transfer and upload photos from the camera to your email, cloud drive, or social networks. App is integrated with Amazon Cloud Drive to allow direct-to-cloud storage. This also means quick access to images from anywhere.
There’s also the Olympus Air A0 Software Development Kit for developers who want to improve on the app. If you’re interested, ask for the SDK from Olympus.
