The new Olympus SP-565 UZ joins the ever-growing ranks of the Ultra-Zoom compact camera, offering a 20x optical zoom lens that provides a versatile focal range of 26-520mm in a more portable body. This should adequately cover wide-angle landscapes, portraits and close-up action shots, with the SP565 UZ‘s Dual Image Stabilisation system helping to prevent blur caused by somewhat inevitable camera shake. A 2.5 inch LCD screen, P/A/S/M exposure modes, Advanced Face Detection, and xD-Picture Card and microSD Card compatibility complete the 10 megapixel SP 565UZ‘s headline specs. Priced at £349.99 / $399.99, Gavin Stoker got up close and personal to find out if the compact Olympus SP-565 UZ is the right ultra zoom camera for you.
