Olympus SP550 UZ
A compact digicam with the longest zoom range on the market and some features to appeal to travellers and photo enthusiasts.When Olympus announced its SP550 UZ, the world’s first 18x zoom digicam, in late January it attracted considerable attention worldwide but we had to wait until mid-May to get our hands on a review unit. The zoom lens ranges from the equivalent of 28mm to 504mm on a 35mm camera and it’s partnered with a dual-action ISO boost and CCD shift image stabilisation system plus a 7.1-megapixel imager.
Olympus SP-500UZ
A compact, long-zoom camera with lots of user-adjustable controls. Some interesting scene modes plus adequate picture quality for stills and movie clips.Top model in the Olympus Ultra Zoom range, the new SP-500UZ sports a 6-megapixel CCD sensor plus a fast (f/2.8-3.7) 10x optical zoom lens and plenty of features for both enthusiast and hobbyist photographers. Unlike some other long-zoom models, the SP-500’s lens lacks in-built stabilisation but digital camera movement compensation is provided in movie mode (it crops the field of view). The SP-500UZ is chunkier than the SP-350 model but has a similar suite of controls, although the location of some buttons is different. [ia]
