Olympus SP-570 UZ Black Digital Camera

Reviewed by: JustPlainDon

Duration of ownership: 7 Days

Strengths: Telephoto & supermacro!!!! Incredible!

Weaknesses:Not difficult to operate; a little bit of a learning curve. A little on the expensive side, but nothing else in this price range has the 20x (optical) telephoto. Not recognized by 64-bit Vista OS.

Overall Evaluation: I've never used a digital camera with this many features (film camera, yes; digital, no). To be honest, I could use the camera right out of the box to take regular pics from wide angle to telephoto. Getting around the features were not difficult, First thing was to check out the telephoto and the macro. One word, AMAZING! With the macro you can shoot as close as around 1/2 inch (but it better be very bright). The telephoto truly is sharp and comparable to a 500 mm lens in 35 mm photography. I printed out a 3648 x 2736 image using a 42" HP printer at work and I was amazed. Final size was 56" x 42". The detail was not to be believed. Very crisp image and good detail. While I have not done any tests to determine how accurate color is, so far all colors have been true by just casually "eyeballing" it. Not too warm, not too blue, everything seemed about right. I did notice that if you leave the camera hooked up to your PC (you connect with the camera turned off), it will continue to use battery power. After 24 hours (not sure when it died), the batteries were drained. Buy some good Ni-MH recharagables (2 sets of 4 to be prepared). The camera was recognized by PCs with WinXP & 32-bit Vista. 64-bit Vista did not recognize the camera which somewhat surprised me. I'm very pleased with my camera so far.

Duration of ownership: 30 Days

Strengths: 20X Zoom is unbelievable, 10MP, User-Friendly Menu, Large LCD screen, TTL Hot-shoe, 10-picture Panorama function

Weaknesses:No way to "permanently" mount a protective (UV, Sky) lens filter. Flash seems a bit weak. Small(ish) size is actually a bit more difficult to hold than a SLR sized camera..

Overall Evaluation: I bought this to replace a seven year-old C-2100UZ that is still working great. I figured if I got this kind of usage from Olympus then I'd stay with them for the new camera. I looked at the SP-560 and the SP-570 and decided to go the SP-570 route. The camera menu stayed much the same as the C-2100, so the learning curve was fairly low. They did put the Panorama function in the first level so it's easier to find. It's not something I had used frequently, so when I wanted it I had to search around to find it. The 20X zoom is phenomenal... I took a picture zoomed all the way out (equivalent to 26mm) and took the same picture zoomed all the way in (equivalent to 520mm) and was impressed with how "close" I could get w/o moving. The macro mode is superb. I found that if you can get light to an object you can photograph it - I mean a cm away and bring it into sharp focus. Great for detail shots of small items. The lens filter issue has me stumped. You'd figure that a camera such as this would allow filters directly on the lens barrel. The SP-570 has NO threads at the end of the lens. (You can get the tubes but that brings up other issues.) The SP-550 and SP-560 both do, and there are step-up adapters out there for "permanently" mounting filters. Just a note; most digital cameras at this level that have a lens barrel that extends out won't have a way to do this either. I looked at the Olympus external flashes and they seem expensive for my infrequent use. That said, I'll probably go with the FL-36R as I know it works automatically with the camera settings and was just a few bucks more than the FL-36. Their identical, but the FL-36R has the wireless remote capability. Nice if using a camera bracket. In spite of these few inconveniences, I love this camera.

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: This is one great camera even after having it for only 2 days.It is capable of so much but yet very easy to use in the auto mode.Takes fantasic photos and is user friendly.

Weaknesses:nothing found as of yet

Overall Evaluation: This camera is allot more than I had expected and I am very pleased with this purchase. It seems a bit complicated at first but I played with it for an hour and then sat down with the manual and worked my way around all of its many features. To many to list here and it is fairly simple to use,just take a few hours with the manual and that should do it. Allot of camera for the money I feel.Takes movies with sound and even has a sound feature that can be used for 4 seconds with still photos.Takes AA batteries which is a plus and is energy efficient so far.You can be very creative or just point and shoot and will get great results either way.

Review:

Olympus SP-570 UZ Digital Camera

The king of the high-zoom cameras offers sharp long-distance pics and quality ergonomics.

Olympus's entry into the megazoom class delivers the greatest magnification rating of any of the products we tested for our roundup. At 20X, photos taken at a distance of up to 30 feet from the subject looked as though the photographer had been right up close to the subject.
