  A powerful, DSLR-quality TruePic V Image Processor and a CMOS sensor come together to dramatically improve image quality with spectacular low-light performance, blazing fast autofocus, enhanced Intelligent Auto for spectacular scene and subject recognition and Super-Resolution Zoom. It's Intelligent. It's High Speed. It's High Sensitivity. It's iHS.
  
  
• Full HD Video with HDMI and Multi-Motion Movie IS
  A simple, one-touch button allows you to record videos with amazing clarity in high-definition, right from your camera.

And with Linear PCM recording, the same technology used in Olympus's professional voice recorders, your HD Videos will be accompanied by higher-than-CD quality audio. HDMI output and control makes playing back videos on your HDTV a breeze. Want high speed recording for slow motion playback? The SP-820 is equipped with HSQVGA recording up to 240 frames per second.
