Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom Review

Scared of the Dark have posted a four part review of the new Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom digital camera - it features a massive 18x optical zoom lens - equivalent to 28mm - 504mm in 35mm terms! The camera features an anti-shake CCD sensor image stabilisation system, 7 megapixel sensor and a 2.5" screen. There is a follow-up posted here as well. The camera is available for pre-order from Amazon UK.

"To me, this really is a camera where Olympus managed to get several innovations right in the same body. So long as you consider what it was designed for, I think it’s hard to argue against the fact that Olympus really have put together something great."
