    Convenient, small superzoom

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 15, 2007 | 14 out of 14 found this Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom review helpful

    Pros: Small, wide angle, big zoom, image stabilization

    Cons: Slow RAW, many menus, not weather resistant

    I was looking for a small digital camera that could do more than take pictures. The first 18X wide-angle/superzoom was ideally suited to this task. It is small and light enough to carry backpacking or strolling city streets. The image stabilization a...nd zoom prove useful in low-light, no flash situations common to museums and concerts. Shooting without a flash makes the camera less obtrusive. The invasive zoom ability allows one to stand back and is rewarded by less 'mugging for the camera" during candid shots at parties. Search on Flickr for plenty of example photos. My early production model consumed batteries at a phenomenal rate - about 10 min of shooting before shutting down. Fast, free warranteed service fixed the problem in about 10 days, including shipping time. I am quite happy with the sp550UZ as a complement to my favorite film cameras. Unless you need speed or very high resolution I would recommend looking at this even as the next generation comes along this fall. Closeout prices should make this even more affordable.

    Olympus D-520 Zoom

    By wtr27513  Sep 23, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom review helpful

    Pros: Great

    Cons: Hard to catch someone jumping off our diving board without a lot of practice

    We've had our Olympus D-520 Zoom to document the process of the builders of our so called upscale custom built home. It saved us a few dollars with the guy who installed the alarm system. He blamed the builders for a loose wire but our camera pic...ture's just happened to catch his wire hanging there loose not connected to anything and he wanted another $500.00 to locate and fix the problem! Which turned out to be his problem!!!! The camera was worth it's cost right then and there! Read more Less

    Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom

    Olympus' SP-550UZ has great ergonomics, but disappointingly slow performance and soft, noisy images drag it down. Read more
