Good for peepin' toms

Advantages: Massive Optical Zoom, Compact, Packed Full of Features
Disadvantages: A little too compact.

I've had my Olympus SP550UZ camera for around a month now and I just LOVE IT ! ! !. The camera is packed full of features which you expect to find on a full blown D-SLR never mind a compact. The best thing about the camera is the optical zoom, 18x magnification, so you can get a crisp close up shot without the need to get close to your subject. I recently took to photos of the solar eclipse with fantastic results!!.

Some of the main ...
...
The SP550UZ from Olympus is an upgrade from the 500 and 510 models, I previously owned the 500 model and I found a couple of problems with it:
1: The camera did not include an image stabilizer.
2: Everything was made from cheap plastic.

However the 550 includes a mechanical image stabilizer, so any camera shake from a pair of unsteady hands wont be a problem. This is a massive necessity especially when using the ... more

Instruction Manual

Olympus SP-550 UZ, Decent all rounder.

Advantages: Great Zoom, Manual Shooting, Range of Shooting Modes
Disadvantages: Bulky, Battery Powered

The Olympus SP-550 UZ has an impressive 18x optical zoom, one of the biggest zooms on a non-SLR camera. Combined with "Dual Image Stabilization" it is very good for taking close-ups without the need for a tri-pod. The 7.1 megapixels produce high resolution pictures and the camera's ability to shoot in RAW mode allows for extensive manipulation in the editing studio. The camera can be manipulated to shoot manual photo's, giving far more control than ...
...from f 2.8- f 8.0, and the shutter speeds range from 1/2000-15seconds. There is also a "Bulb" setting which leaves the shutter open for as long as the shutter button is pressed. The ISO can also be changed, with values from 50-5000. For people who are beginning to expand their digital photography ability the SP-550 has frame assist and can also show histograms on the 2.5" colour LCD screen. In my opinion it is one of the best non-SLR cameras for ...
