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. Less

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...

I bought this camera in July, 2010 for an upcoming trip to Yellowstone and the surrounding area I was planning. Took over 2,000 pictures on this trip.

We were looking for a camera to use for bird watching and macros of flowers without spending the time/money involved with an SLR system. Also as we get older a single SMALL unit is more and more appealing - much easier to handle, carry around all day.
