Olympus SP-500 UZ review at LetsGoDigital

Posted by Steve on June 6th, 2006

olympus sp 500 reviewLetsGoDigital have posted a review of the Olympus SP-500 UZ digital camera. The Olympus SP-500UZ is a 6 megapixel ultra zoom camera with a 10x optical zoom lens. On the other hand, the macro mode of the SP-500 UZ has a minimum distance of only 3cm to the subject, which makes this camera quite versatile. Equipped with both automatic and manual exposure modes, the Olympus SP-500 UZ caters to the needs of both photography novices and more experienced photographers.

The review conclusion:
“By the end of the trial period, the Olympus SP-500 UZ had made a mixed impression on me. The image quality and functionality was convincing enough, but it is just a fact that the specifications of contemporary Megazoom cameras are more extensive than ever. The Olympus SP-500 UZ misses several features found elsewhere, the worst being the lack of an optical image stabiliser. For the time being, the Olympus SP-500 UZ is an all-round digital camera, and if it is priced considerably lower that its competitors, it will be a perfect find for an experienced photographer in search of a second camera or a compact version of their digital reflex camera. Starters will be less convinced and will probably look around to see what the competition has to offer.”
