Olympus SP-550 UZ Light Field Camera

Long-range photography is becoming increasingly popular these days, and the Olympus SP-550UZ is there to answer the call. This 7.1 megapixel camera has an amazing 18x optical zoom lens (28-504mm equivalent) that is perfect for group and landscape shots at the wide end, and sports and wildlife on the long end. The Olympus SP-550UZ also features a dual image stabilization system that combines sensor-shift technology with high ISO and shutter settings, minimizing blur, even when fully zoomed in. A bright 2.5-inch LCD screen rounds out this versatile camera.
