Olympus SP-810UZ Review

 

The Olympus SP-810UZ is a new ultra-zoom digital compact camera with a large 36x optical zoom, 24mm wide-angle view and 14 megapixel resolution. Other features include a 3 inch LCD screen, 720p HD video, 3D shooting mode, SDXC card compatibility, AF...

Olympus have produced a really nice camera in the SP-810UZ. The user interface is easy to understand and navigate, the LCD screen is clear and bright and the menu system isn't too exhausting. On the build side, it's not sparkling - it looks nice and...

Olympus SP-810UZ

 

A compact ultrazoom that sacrifices image quality for size

Sharp lens for a superzoom

Noisy, even at low ISOs; Small size is hard to handle; Control over common variables is limited

For us, innovation is always welcome in the saturated ultrazoom market. Olympus’ SP series deserves credit here for trying something different. Their goal is to fit the same capabilities of a clunky superzoom camera into a smaller, more portable body....

Olympus SP-810UZ Review

 

Olympus has had a very successful 2011, wherein they introduced some really 'head turning' cameras. The PEN range of Micro Four Thirds and a one-of-its-kind, the SZ-30MR, a travel compact in an extremely slim frame camera, from their camera line-up,...

The Olympus SP-810UZ is available in India at a market operating price of Rs.18,999. The camera does really well in the design and build quality departments and with a large lens of 36x zoom, this attribute cannot be ignored in the features part of the...

Olympus SP-810UZ review

 

Limited control and poor quality in low light, but for outdoor telephoto photography on a tight budget, it's a reasonable choice

Olympus SP-810UZ Compact Digital Camera Review

 

The Olympus SP-810UZ is a compact digital camera with a massive 36x optical zoom. Available for less than £200, it appears at first glance to be quite a bargain, Daniel Bell finds out if it is.

Good value for money; Decent image quality; Massive optical zoom range; Fast hi-speed shooting

Focusing can be a little slugglish when using lots of optical zoom

Great camera for the $!

 

Super fast shipping and processing. Typical Newegg service, great!

Excellent zoom and picture quality. I've been shopping around for a decent point and shoot under $200 for a couple months. Glad I waited

None so far
