  Review summary: Impressive image quality helps this model make its mark, despite some limitations.
  
  Pros: Accurate exposures, Long zoom range
  
  Cons: Flash doesn't pop up automatically, Auto focusing can be slow
  
  Verdict: Lots of manual controls and great image quality are offset by the C-5500's sluggish response time.

  Olympus C-5500 Sport Zoom
  By Michael Shapiro
  
  Pros: Solid build; long telephoto range; strong image quality; better, broad feature set.
  
  Cons: Poorly placed pop-up flash; indecisive autofocus; limited continuous-shooting capabilities.
  
  Verdict: The Olympus C-5500 Sport Zoom, while not as adept at action photography as its name might lead you to expect, offers a lot of features and very good image quality for an affordable price.
