The camera gods of Olympus have rained down a fair number of new digital cameras this week – another one is a new member of the rugged Stylus SW series. It is known as the Stylus 1050 SW and you’ll find it pricing around $300 when it comes out in October.

The Stylus 1050 SW is a 10.1-megapixel shooter which Olympus says has a shockproof, waterproof and freezerproof body. It is available in four body colors and can be controlled with a simple tap on its top, back or sides, “which is made possible thanks to the new camera’s 3D accelerometer that detects the direction of the force on the camera’s body.”

It truly is digital camera craziness this week with all of these new shooters flooding the market in time for the holidays. Another product announcement this week from Olympus comes in the form of two new FE-Series models – the FE-360 and FE-370, priced around $150 and $200, respectively.

The FE-360 and FE-370, both available now, are targeted towards entry-level shooters. Both offer eight-megapixels, image stabilization, face detection, shot previews and in-camera help guides, among other features. You can get full details after the jump.

Olympus debuted yesterday what it calls is its slimmest Stylus line digital camera to date. It is called the Stylus 1040 and it will cost around $200 when it surfaces in October.

The Stylus 1040 from Olympus is a 10-megapixel pocket shooter which measures 3.5- x 2.2- x 0.65-inches. Key features of this digital camera include a mode which automatically identifies what is in the camera’s sights and adjusts settings appropriately, face detection which tracks up to 16 faces, an in-camera panorama mode, digital image stablization, a 2.7-inch display and in-camera editing.

Olympus is taking its powerful SP-570 UZ digital camera and slightly downsizing its dimensions to create the SP-565 UZ. This digital camera with a 20x wide-angle telephoto zoom lens (26-520mm equivalent) is priced around $400.

The SP-565 UZ, besides being smaller and lighter than its predecessor, also sports 10 million pixels, dual image stabilization, face detection of up to 16 faces, shadow adjustment technology and preview of shots on the camera’s LCD screen before taking the photo. This 10-megapixel shooter includes as well manual controls and some 33 different shooting modes. It will be available in …

Olympus kicked out a number of new products today for consumers, including some new VN-Series digital voice recorders. The VN-5000 and VN-5200 PC will be available this fall for around $40 and $60, respectively.

Both the VN-5000 and VN-5200 PC offer 512MB of internal memory, allowing for 300 and 221 hours of recording time, respectively, as well as a large LCD screen, multiple recording modes and battery lives reportedly over 30 hours. The VN-5200 PC can also be connected to a host computer via USB 2.0, letting users back up their recorded audio files to a …

You might think that a 360 degree camera and lens is a novelty that few users would be interested in, but Olympus is betting that surveillance and security big-wigs will be all over this, since it captures images anything and everything. It shoots in all directions, with not 10, not 5, but just one lens. It will take a 360-degree horizontal image with a 180-degree vertical view, wasting no footage on feet and ceilings. Olympus isn’t saying when it would ship, but I’m guessing casinos and other surveillance type environments can’t wait to try it out. Video conferencing would be great using this camera since the camera can pinpoint the speaker and capture them in a perfect picture without any panning.

Olympus added today a new digital SLR it says is currently the world’s smallest and lightest. It is called the E-420 and pricing is at around $600 with an included ED 14-42mm f3.5/5.6 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens.

The E-420 from Olympus is a pretty lightweight 10-megapixel digital shooter. It sports a 2.7-inch display which works with a number of technologies, such as on-screen autofocus and face detection, to present more clearly what your photo will hopefully look like. Measurements wise, the E-420 is 5.1 inches by 3.6 inches by 2.1 inches.

Another new digital camera…we know. This time around Olympus brought us word this week of the Olympus SP-570 UZ, priced at around $500. The company notes this particular model for its 20x, wide-angle optical zoom (26-520mm equivalent).

The SP-570UZ, besides the optical zoom, offers up an impressive 10-megapixels coupled with a f2.8-4.5 lens. You get a bevy of advanced features with this particular Olympus model, including a 2.7-inch LCD with anti-glare, dual image stabilization, face detection, shadow adjustment and full manual control.

This new Olympus camera will be available come March. Get the full details after the jump.

Voice recorders had a time when I thought they were pretty cool because they had those tiny little cassette tapes. I remember going to the doctor’s office (for routine visits, of course) and seeing many little tapes lying around with different files where the doctors would dictate on them and file them away.

Well, voice records have come a long way, and dictation is not recorded onto little tapes anymore. If you are in need of a good voice recorder for dictation or anything else, Olympus has a sweet …
