Far and wide, the world's most powerful ultra zoom. Capture the moment, and capture the action, with the world's most powerful ultra zoom — the 7.1 megapixel SP-550 UZ. Its new 18x wide-angle super-telephoto zoom lens gets you closer to your subject than any other compact digital camera on the market. Dual Image Stabilization eliminates blur. And with high-speed sequential shooting and new Pre-Capture* technology, you'll capture anything that moves. Even shoot in low light without a flash, thanks to Bright Capture Technology, and it's easy to preview, shoot and share with the large 2.5" high-resolution LCD. Minimize

Great camera for the enthusiasts!

Author's Rating:

Pros: Very versatile, light weight, compact, you can get great video and on board editing tools

Cons: Versatile tripod is a great investment with this camera, panoramic option only with Olympus card.

Bottom Line:
Great camera for Enthusiasts, would definitely not recommend for a beginner. Lots to learn to get maximum usage out of this camera, but well worth the effort. Good investment. Read More

OK if your expectations are low

Author's Rating:

Pros: Nice grip, extreme zoom, good battery life

Cons: Too much noise in pictures, menu froze on me

Bottom Line:
I'd wait for some of the upcoming ultrazooms, especially from Sony, unless you are taking pictures only on bright sunny days. Read More

Some impressive things, and some disappointments

Author's Rating:

Pros: Small size, good battery life, good shots can be really clear

Cons: Focusing problems, steeper learning curve than competing brands, xD cards are slow

Bottom Line:
Be aware of the actual capability of this camera, not its advertised capability. It has wonderful price-performance; it's just that neither is that high. Read More
