Olympus SP-550 UZ Digital Camera

Product Description

 
Long-range photography is becoming increasingly popular these days, and the Olympus SP-550UZ is there to answer the call. This 7.1 megapixel camera has an amazing 18x optical zoom lens (28-504mm equivalent) that is perfect for group and landscape shots at the wide end, and sports and wildlife on the long end. The Olympus SP-550UZ also features a dual image stabilization system that combines sensor-shift technology with high ISO and shutter settings, minimizing blur, even when fully zoomed in. A bright 2.5-inch LCD screen rounds out this versatile camera.

Some impressive things, and some disappointments

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: Be aware of the actual capability of this camera, not its advertised capability. It has wonderful price-performance; it's just that neither is that high.
Review: The specifications of the Olympus SP-550UZ wowed me from day one. I mean, 18x optical zoom? Compact? ISO 5000? And a relatively low price to boot? What's not to like?

Variously, very little, and a lot. The Olympus SP-550UZ is my third...

Awesome camera!

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Excellent zoom, great price, great end product!
Review: I bought this camera as soon as it came out, and have been more than happy with it. The optical zoom is one of the best on the market, at 18x. It is great in fast action at sporting events, low light at concerts and of course excellent in daylight...

Great camera for the enthusiasts!

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great camera for Enthusiasts, would definitely not recommend for a beginner. Lots to learn to get maximum usage out of this camera, but well worth the effort. Good investment.
Review: Coming up to the technology age from a manual SLR camera, I have had some very pleasant surprises and also a few disappointments with this camera. One of the few cameras I have owned that I have actually had to read the instruction manual!
