Olympus SP-550 UZ Review at Steves Digicams

Olympus SP-550 UZSteves Digicams have reviewed the new Olympus SP-550 UZ. This is the first digital camera to offer an 18x optical zoom lens, equivalent to 28-504mm.

“The SP-550’s high speed sequential shooting modes offer astonishing capture rates, but have limitations on image size, quality and ISO. Both modes require a minimum sensitivity setting of ISO 400. While ISO 400 introduces a noticeable amount of image noise, its use can also result in overexposure; the smallest lens aperture of f/8 and the fastest shutter speed of 1/2000 second are sometimes simply not enough to use ISO 400 in very brightly illuminated conditions.”
