Olympus C-5500 Sport Zoom Review at Steves Digicams
Steves Digicams have posted their review of the new 5 megapixel Olympus C-5500 Sport Zoom digital camera (called the C-55 Sports Zoom in the rest of the world).
“The 5x optical zoom lens covers a 35mm equivalent range of 38 - 190mm. This offers flexibility in composing your shots as well as adding to the overall fun factor of the camera. It produces sharp results throughout its range with moderate barrel distortion present at its wide angle extreme, but almost no pin cushioning at full telephoto. The autofocus systems works quickly and has few problems focusing in low-ambient lighting thanks to an onboard AF-assist lamp.”
