Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom Review

PopPhoto have posted a 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, RAW support and a 2.5" screen. The camera is available from Amazon UK for £320.

"Overall, the Olympus SP-550UZ is a very capable camera, especially at lower ISOs with the sensor-shift image stabilization activated. The reach of this lens is record-breaking, and it covers that long distance while keeping distortion mostly contained, except at the extreme wide angle setting, which is typical for this camera class. The built is rock-solid for a composite camera, and it feels great in the hands."
