Olympus SP-500UZ Review at DPReview

February 6, 2006 | Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | Comment |

Olympus SP-500UZDPReview have reviewed the Olympus SP-500UZ digital camera, which has a 10x optical zoom lens equivalent to 38-380mm, 6 megapixels, 2.5 inch LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder.

”...the feature set is impressive, but (aside, perhaps from RAW capture) there’s nothing here that jumps out and says ‘buy me instead of a Panasonic / Canon / Sony’. The extra megapixel over most of its direct competitors makes little - if any - difference to the quality of results, and although noise is fairly well controlled, the images are pretty soft and the number of shots lost to camera shake or focus errors (at the long end of the zoom) is high.”
