Olympus SP-610UZ Review

 

Announced earlier this year, the Olympus SP-610UZ is the successor to last year's SP-600UZ, sporting a 14-megapixel sensor and a new 22x ultra-zoom lens. Also on board is Olympus' sensor-shift image stabilisation system, a range of Art Filters and a...

Considering its tiny, pixel-packed sensor and an ultra-zoom lens that naturally comes with its own set of compromises, the Olympus SP-610UZ produces surprisingly usable images, at least outdoors in bright light. While noise reduction does rob you of...

Olympus has recently release a spate of new digital cameras. We recently investigated the VG-130, which is essentially an entry-level model for those new to compact digitals, giving them plenty of features for less than £100. ...

If you're a seasoned explorer who's maybe not ready to own a complex DSLR, the Olympus SP-610UZ is relatively inexpensive, has an excellent 22x zoom and plenty of creative features, albeit mostly menu driven. BEST POINT: Massive 22x optical zoom....

Olympus SP-610UZ review

 

22x optical zoom, HD video capture and 3D still image capture all combine in a compact body. But how does the Olympus SP-610UZ measure up on the testing bench?

Large focal range, large LCD screen, HD video capture, compact size

Half-baked 3D implementation, poor build quality, no Raw capture
