Olympus SP-570 UZ

By (cnet.com)

Lots of helpful and useful features

Slow ; big ; manual zoom ring on lens not responsive enough ; can't zoom in movie capture

Poor performance diminishes the Olympus SP-570 UZ's potential as an otherwise solid megazoom.

SP-570 UZ

By Steve Morgenstern (digitalcamerainfo.com)

If you feel your inner paparazzo yearning to come out and play, consider the Olympus SP-570UZ with its whopping 20x zoom lens - the equivalent of a 28mm-520mm zoom in 35mm photography. We had lots of fun shooting with this camera, which combines ...
