The Olympus wants you to take pictures of your food with the Stylus 500

Olympus Stylus 500

You know how we joke about how everything in Japan is craziness times a million? Well, we're not joking anymore. The new five megapixel Olympus Stylus 500 digital camera has all sorts of different picture modes, you know like portrait, landscape, sports, but it also has one other setting, "Cuisine," that's designed to cash in on what is supposed to be the big new trend in Tokyo right now: taking a picture of your restaurant meal before you get down to business. (Yes, we know this isn't the first Olympus camera with a "Cuisine" mode, we'd just been to busy not taking pictures of all our meals to notice).
