Olympus SP-510 Ultra Zoom Review

Steves Digicams have reviewed the new Olympus SP-510UZ - a 7.1 megapixel update to the Olympus SP-500UZ reviewed here. It features a silver body, a 10x optical zoom lens, and a 2.5" screen. It features new high ISO modes, a feature that was lacking in the SP-500, the ISO range is ISO50 upto ISO1600 at 7.1 megapixels, and upto ISO2500 / ISO4000 at 3mp. This should help avoid image shake when using the camera in low light or at the longer end of the zoom. Battery life if also improved. The camera is available for only £169 from Amazon

"The quality of the SP-510's SHQ images is on par with many 7-megapixel consumer models. Our outdoor shots were sharp with good overall exposure and color saturation. While some may see the extended ISO capabilities of this model appealing, I found image noise was pretty bad in the higher sensitivity settings."
