      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
