Photography Glossary

The SH-2 was introduced 2 years later than the VH-410 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the SH-2 grades versus the VH-410 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus Stylus SH-2 and Olympus VH-410. The whole galleries are available at Olympus SH-2 Gallery and Olympus VH-410 Gallery.
