Product Description

 
Long-range photography is becoming increasingly popular these days, and the Olympus SP-550UZ is there to answer the call. This 7.1 megapixel camera has an amazing 18x optical zoom lens (28-504mm equivalent) that is perfect for group and landscape shots at the wide end, and sports and wildlife on the long end. The Olympus SP-550UZ also features a dual image stabilization system that combines sensor-shift technology with high ISO and shutter settings, minimizing blur, even when fully zoomed in. A bright 2.5-inch LCD screen rounds out this versatile camera.

Some impressive things, and some disappointments

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: Be aware of the actual capability of this camera, not its advertised capability. It has wonderful price-performance; it's just that neither is that high.
Review: The specifications of the Olympus SP-550UZ wowed me from day one. I mean, 18x optical zoom? Compact? ISO 5000? And a relatively low price to boot? What's not to like?

Variously, very little, and a lot. The Olympus SP-550UZ is my third...

Olympus SP-55 OUZ digital camera 7.1 megapixel and 18x wide angle optical zoom

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this product to those who love taking pictures . High Optical zoom and great choice of scenes modes.Large screen and great software.

This camera has 30...

OK if your expectations are low

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: I'd wait for some of the upcoming ultrazooms, especially from Sony, unless you are taking pictures only on bright sunny days.
Review: Years ago I had a Sony F-707 that was big and bulky but produced beautiful photos. I got tired of hauling it around so I got a Sony DSC-T1, a tiny camera with 3X optical zoom. It performed well for a point and shoot portable camera. The picture...
