Expert Reviews
Expert Rating : Very Good   
For all those who wished to capture photographs of subjects at very far distances or of subjects that are moving. For all those die hard fans of sports who wish to capture their favorite stars in action in the field but unfortunately did not get the front seat, for all those who wished to capture the beautiful bird flying high with her wings left wide open to make all think again the wonders of nature, Olympus SP 550 UZ comes as a boon, a blessing. This model offers far and wide the world?s most powerful ultra zoom.

It enables you to capture the moment and capture the action with its 7.1 megapixel. Its Dual Image Stabilization feature eliminates any blur. Apart from these, with the help of the high-speed sequential shooting and new Pre-Capture technology; you'll capture anything that moves. It enables you to even shoot in low light without a flash, with the help of the Bright Capture Technology.

The camera also makes it easy to preview, shoot and share images with the large 2.5" high-resolution LCD.

The key features in detail :


18X Wide angle zoom
With the world?s first wide 18x optical zoom, the Olympus SP-550 UZ accepts no limits, enabling photographers to get closer to distant subjects than ever before. Its new 18x wide-angle super-telephoto zoom lens lets you get closer to your subject than any other compact digital camera in the market. Now you can grab the detail of your favorite sport from way up in the stands, capture candid street scenes from a discreet distance, and then even use the wide angle lens to take in the whole game. All this is possible as in this model the focal length spans an amazing 28mm-504mm (in 35mm camera equivalent terms). You can explore the possibilities of truly remarkable magnification power. With an 18x wide zoom lens with this wide range there?s no need to disturb your subject, whether it be an animal wandering through the backwoods or people lounging in a city park.

The 18x super-telephoto zoom enables you to get close to the farthest subjects and at the same time, the wide-angle lens allows maximum view in your frame. The SP-550's 100x total zoom capability is ideal for indoor shooting, landscapes and group shots.

15FPS & Pre capture
With a burst rate of up to 15fps, you can freeze moments right on time to get the exact shot you want. This new Pre-Capture technology available in this model works as soon as the focus is locked; it automatically records five frames in the camera's buffer memory before you release the shutter. Thus you will capture the perfect shot even if your reaction time is slow. This is a feature that is a boon to all those who aspire to capture those splendid frames of moving objects that otherwise we generally see in the newspaper by professionals

Full Manual Exposure Control
The SP-550 is as adaptable as you want it to be. It allows advanced creative control. But neither do you have to worry if your estimation or calculation of the exposure is correct or perfect. It is easy enough for any family member to point-and-shoot beautiful images.

Dual image stabilization
This model of digital camera enables you to enjoy double protection against camera shake with its Dual Image Stabilization feature. Olympus' new 2-in-1 anti-blur solution includes Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization that keeps your shot steady by compensating for camera shake (ideal for shooting in low light and zooming), and Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds. These two technologies combine to help you capture crisp, clear images in any situation, even at longer focal lengths.

Even at high magnifications or when capturing fast-moving objects, this technology ensures that the results are significantly sharper. Having a store of 7.1 Megapixels of detail-capturing power, the SP-550 UZ opens up a new sphere of creative possibility. The SP-550 UZ feature?s Dual Image Stabilization to help deliver the clearest results possible. This is useful in telephoto shots which are more prone to blur caused by camera shake.

ISO 5000
The SP-550 UZ offers the highest ISO sensitivity of any ultra zoom for superior low-light and fast-action photography. This combined with a shutter speed of up to 1/2000 second will help you capture fast-action photos, be it at the game or in your own backyard, with ultimate ease.

Bright Capture Technology
This feature enables you to preview your subject clearly on the LCD, even when it?s too dark for your eyes to see, and then capture an image that?s clear and bright without having to use a flash.

Lens
You can experience a lens that?s simply more versatile than anything you?ve seen before. On top of astounding ultra-zoom attributes, its wide-angle capabilities stretch to 28mm (35mm camera equivalent). Therefore the SP-550 UZ therefore offers photographers a broader viewpoint from which the photographer can see and do more.

LCD
And with a 6.4cm LCD it?s easy to frame and capture shots, without having to squint and make guesses about how the image will turn out.

Go for the details
You can see the world from a different point of view with Super Macro mode ? enabling you to take shots from as close as 1cm! From the tiniest wonders nature has to offer, to the simple detail of everyday life: the most unique photographic opportunities are easily recorded with the SP-550 UZ.

Capture the night
With this camera low light cannot ruin a photo opportunity. You can rely on its Bright Capture Technology to add brightness to any shot. This is applicable even in movie mode! With the help of an extra-bright LCD, this model makes framing dim shots absolutely trouble free. This feature makes high-quality photo and video capture a reality in virtually any low-light situation.

Comfortable, creative control
Due to an ergonomic design plus the intuitive menu and button layouts, the SP-550 UZ is a delight to hold and just as much fun to operate. With P/A/S/M exposure modes and 23 scene modes available, there?s a perfect setting for every user, and for pretty much any situation.

The camera is good but it has some image distortion problems. The camera is not all that durable. The zoom is good.
