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. Less

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

The specifications of the Olympus SP-550UZ wowed me from day one. I mean, 18x optical zoom? Compact? ISO 5000? And a relatively low price to boot? What's not to like?
Variously, very little, and a lot. The Olympus SP-550UZ is my third Olympus camera, so I consider myself reasonably...

We got this camera 3 years ago and it is still going strong. I have even dropped it by accident a couple of times in fear but it didnt damage anything at all and it still works great. It has 7.1 megapixels which is decent. We paid $400 for this camera and I feel the money was well spent. The 8X...

Pros
Easy interface, beautiful renderings, fully customizable.
Cons
Could use more zoom, but different lenses can be purchased for distant shots.
Recommended it?
Yes
I recently purchased the Canon REBEL T2i / EOS for a family vacation to niagara falls. I have never owned a professional camera beforehand so I figured it would be difficult to learn but it was really simple. Beautiful pictures, ample shot settings, and quick changing to different style...

Pros
Many different shooting modes<br>Lovely contrast<br>Simple to master
Cons
The camera cannot be set down without tipping forward, hard for self-timer.
Recommended it?
Yes
I got this product as a gift and could not be happier with it. I have been taking photography classes in school and became very interested in it, so I decided that I wanted a digital camera as well as a film camera. I originally thought that it would never stand up to film, but so far...
