    Travelers often must choose between carrying a pair of powerful zoom lenses and tackling the weight of a full DSLR kit, or bringing along a point-and-shoot, in turn sacrificing image quality and versatility. The Olympus SP-810UZ sets out to eradicate that latter obstacle, pairing a 14-megapixel image sensor with a massive 24-864mm, f/2.9-5.7 optical zoom lens. The result is a 36x superzoom point-and-shoot camera, with 720p HD video, 3D image capture and a 3-inch LCD. Olympus hasn't hinted at a release date for the $330 cam, but you hit up the gallery below for a trio of glamour shots.%Gallery-129288%
