The 830’s Dual IS image stabilization system uses sensor-shift stabilization in addition to boosted ISO sensitivity. Mechanical stabilization (enabled in any shooting mode – including movie mode – via a dedicated button next to the shutter release) as implemented here is on par with systems from other manufacturers, providing a nice, highly functional addition the 830’s feature set.

digitalcamerareview reviewed the Olympus Stylus 830 and gave out”While the Olympus only seriously disappointed in a few of the test categories in this review, it’s fair to say that the overall package just never comes together cohesively. Accessibility issues and ease of use top the list of concerns, and soft, noisy images and poor flash and night shot performance make the camera difficult to get good shots with in common snapshot situations. The weatherproofing is a nice feature, and one distinguishing mark for the Stylus 830, as is its 5x zoom. But in a crowded field of easy-to-use compacts, this camera simply fails too often and doesn’t impress enough to earn a strong recommendation.”
