Olympus SP-560 Ultra Zoom Review

DPReview have reviewed the new Olympus SP-560 Ultra Zoom - an update to the SP-550UZ - the 8 megapixel digital camera features a wider angle 18x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 27 - 486mm), 2.5" screen, 24 scene modes, digital and optical image stabilisation, VGA video, 1cm macro, built in guide, ISO upto 6400 (ISO3200 at full resolution), BrightCapture and Shadow Adjustment Technology, Face detection focus, and TruePic III image processor. The SP-560 is available for £224:

"We described the Fuji S8000fd as trying to be all things to all people, but that was before we really got to grips with the Olympus SP-560UZ. The number of features and options available on the Olympus is frankly comical. You could use this camera for years without ever finding all the (often fairly pointless) things it can do, so numerous and deeply buried in menus are they."
