About the Olympus VG-160
The Olympus VG-160 was released in January 2012 and is listed as a standard compact. A 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor of 14 megapixels sits behind a 5x optical zoom covering 26-130 mm in 35mm terms, with an aperture of F2.8-6.5. The F2.8 wide end is a little brighter than many compacts of the period.
The body is slim, at 96 x 57 x 19 mm and 125 g, with a 3-inch monitor on the back. It uses the LI-70B lithium-ion battery, and images are stored on SD or SDHC cards. The lens range handles snapshots, group photos and casual travel use, and the slim body is easy to carry. It is aimed at everyday use rather than long-distance subjects.
Buying one used
Check that the LI-70B battery charges and holds up. Confirm that SD or SDHC cards read correctly, and inspect the 3-inch monitor and the lens extension for smooth operation.
