      Olympus SP-570UZ

      By Andrew Kliem

      Review summary: OLYMPUS shows off the largest lens on a compact camera, offering a massive 20x zoom.

      Pros: 20x zoom, dual image stabilisation, 13.5fps burst mode

      Cons: Some over-sharpening, full-resolution burst mode slow, electronic zoom fiddly for precise framing

      Verdict: Olympus' SP-570UZ continues the trend of its past ultra-zooms, offering an enticing package for users looking for a larger lens. It isn't perfect - at times it can be sluggish and the pictures have some minor issues - but on the whole it does a solid ...

      Olympus SP-570 UZ

      Review summary: The Olympus SP-570 handles a lot like a Digital SLR. Its main attraction is its 20x optical zoom lens, but there are plenty of other features to get excited about as well. This is a 10 megapixel model. It has manual exposure controls, manual focusing, ...

      Pros: Looks good - build quality - handling - picture quality

      Cons: Shutter delay could be faster

      Verdict: This is as close to a Digital SLR as you are likely to get without buying one. I really like the way the camera handles and it takes fine photos as well. If you are looking for a digital camera with a super long lens then take a look at this one.

      Olympus SP-570 UZ

      Review summary: In its Ultra Zoom (UZ) models, Olympus appears to be trying to bridge the gap between digicams and DSLRs. But, until larger sensors are used in these cameras, a large gulf will remain. With the new 10-megapixel SP-570 UZ, it has taken a big step ...

      Verdict: Considering the range of the zoom lens on the SP570 UZ, we weren't surprised to find the test camera tended to hunt at the longer focal length settings, particularly in low light levels and cloudy conditions when subject contrast was reduced. It also ...

      Olympus SP-570 UZ

      Verdict: Precision optics is fundamental for producing quality images, and the SP-570 UZ comes fully equipped with the equivalent of three lenses in one complete camera. The bright, f2.8-4.5 lens provides the equivalent of 26-520mm focal length with 100x total ...
