Olympus SP-570 UZ ‘produces great mid-zoom shots’

The Olympus SP-570 UZ digital camera has an "impressive feel", according to an expert.

Chris Hall from pocket-lint.co.uk said that the camera has a successful reverse lay-out "dominated" by a 2.7-inch LCD screen.

He explains that the camera’s flash is not automatic and users will have to manually press the button when informed by a symbol.

According to the writer, users will be able to get some "great shots" using the mid-length zoom but those who want to benefit from the super-zoom feature may has to spend more on the DSLR model.

"The Olympus SP-570 UZ looks good, feels good in the hand and build quality is impressive," wrote Mr Hall.

"But with every super zoom camera compromises have to be made."

Gavin Stokes, a reviewer for Macworld.co.uk, called the Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd "a lot of camera" in a recent article, stating that the overall camera quality was "impressive".
