  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.

  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
