Olympus SP-720UZ Review

 

Olympus recently reshaped the structure of their digital cameras to make it easier to understand. The SP-720UZ now falls under the Traveller range of cameras. This type of camera is a high zoom all-in-one model with easy functionality and lots of fun...

Poor image quality in low light

 

The SP-720UZ seems to use ISO 800 on low light photos which creates bad image quality.

Good photos in bright light. Good zoom range

Poor image quality in low light, such as indoors. My 10 year old Olympus C-700UZ takes better quality images in low light

Simply Amazing

 

For the price this camera is simply amazing, I picked it up on sale for $110 (rare deal) but I'd pay $200 for this outright it's that good

None I can think of, price per performance is amazing

Bought this camera to take on a sight seeing vacation in southwest National Parks. We also used it at a family event, and a theatrical performance. While a few pictures were out of focus, we've taken hundreds of gorgeous pictures in a number of...
