Olympus SP-570 UZ Digital camera user reviews

    "Olympus SP-570 UZ Digital 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.

    "I bought Olympus SP-570 UZ Digital camera 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'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.

    "Buy.com really dropped the ball advertising this camera. The Zoom is incredible (20X), the Mega Pixels (10.0) are much more than adequate but, thats just the begining. The panoramic stitching is easy to use and the results are great. If you are a professional photographer, stick to SLRs but, if you just like taking pictures of sporting events, monuments, cityscapes, etc etc., this is the camera to get."
