  By CHONG JINN XIUNG

  Olympus SP-570 UZ Digital Camera
  By Andrew Brandt
  
  Review summary: The king of the high-zoom cameras offers sharp long-distance pics and quality ergonomics.
  
  Verdict: The SP-570 UZ's range is also stunning: This model covers the equivalent of a 35mm film camera's range of 26mm to 520mm; it's therefore great for taking both wide-angle pictures and very detailed macro (close-up) shots
