Olympus SP570 UZ 10mp digital camera
Price: £235-£380 (Price runner winner on price - Camerabox limited)
Olympus digital cameras are such a good choice I have had the pleasure of sampling a couple this being one along with the E-510 and again to be honest very similar in deed & the quality of the images is superb so for those of you on a budget (I'm a photographer on a budget (very tight) & this camera is on par with those that cost over ... ...and unless it is an Olympus XD you will not be able to use the panoramic function which I think is a bit of a shame, no rechargeable batteries are included or a charger (you get x4 industrial disposable batteries in the box) so you will have to purchase rechargeable batteries and a charger in addition to the camera. These sort of things should be included in camera purchase as standard as I was only getting 9 shots in super macro mode before the ...

Advantages: long zoom, high resolution Disadvantages: fails to deliver and very dissapointing
...in compact cameras like the Olympus SP-570 UZ, a certain amount of quality is lost in the image. But with the 12x Zoom on my Sony, this was hardly noticable and more than compensated with by the increased versatility.
However, the above is not true of the OlympusSP-570 UZ. In short I found the pictures to be soft and lacking depth. Even side by side with my Sony H2 which is a two year old camera, both at auto settings, the H2 won hands down.
It ... ...likes of the Olympus 410 costing less than the 570, it's even more difficult to justify choosing the Olympus 570 over a low end DSLR. If the Olympus was £75 cheaper it might be easier to recommend but there are plenty of bridge cameras out there that perform equally well. ...

Advantages: Incredible zoom, macro mode and very easy to use Disadvantages: No rechargeable batteries and uninspiring LCD screen.
...The bad points. === Olympus have built one of the best compact cameras ever made as far as I'm concerned, but seem to have forgotten to provide a rechargeable battery. Whilst this may not be a major problem to a lot of people, I can happily take up to 200 shots a day when I'm out with the camera, so a good set of rechargeable AA (4) batteries is essential. I'm currently using 2100mAh batteries which give me about 350 shots per charge. Furthermore, ... ...This usually comes in the form of poor image quality or lack of original features. The Olympus sp570 however is great across the board, let down only by the lack of a rechargeable battery along with the detail quality of the LCD screen, and comes highly recommended from this reviewer. ...

Advantages: I know of no other in its class that offers that zoom range Disadvantages: SP-570 UZ RAW (ORF) Files are unsupported by Photoshop CS3
...of the 60's, the last Olympus digital compact camera I bought was the C-5050UZ (2002) with it's peerless f/1.8 aspherical lens that is among the best cameras of dozens that I've owned since I was a shutterbug in my youth, and later as a professional wedding photographer - 'until death do us part!' Six years down the track I've developed an interest in bird photography (as distinct from brides) and having switched to digital completely, I bought an ... ...machinations.
In fairness to Olympus I will say that a very good English hard copy manual is included, although the CD software created some system conflicts in my pc. I also found that RAW (ORF) files created in the SP-570 UZ are unsupported by Photoshop and apparently can only be post processed using the Olympus editing software that comes bundled with the camera. That is strange because RAW (ORF) files created in the Olympus C-5050 are compatible ...

Unbelievable! This camera is probably the best camera on the market for under £300. 10 Megapixels and an amazing 20x optical zoom - that's right - 20X OPTICAL ZOOM. Stunning clarity both long and short range - seriously breathtaking close ups. With a built-in dual image stabiliser, all blur associated with camera shake is eliminated to give extremely clear images.

Unique moments can be caught from anywhere... the range is just class. ... ...metres away from you. Even when you have zoomed to the max. the pictures are still crystal clear due to the image stabilisation incorporated - therefore can be used for sporting events etc.
=== Close-ups ===
The Super Macro mode of the SP-570 UZ allows you to take pictures of things that are only 1cm away.
=== Look ====
The camera isn't as bulky as you might expect giving the unbelievable features, and it looms rather stylish as well. The black ...
