1 out of 5 stars Zoom error Fatality!!!   September 8, 2008

my wife bought me this beauty for xmas. i never could get it to do much in the way of macro or quick shots of birds and airplanes, just too slow to focus, and the face-focus is confusing; but still a nice camera...until it fell one foot off a table. power on and the tube zzzts out then zzzts back in, the display reads Zoom error and it shuts off. i sent it off and it was returned "unrepairable". so now i have an expensive bait-weight. i love olymppus, have used their stylus's for years, and still use my old one.. again. what happened olympus?

4 out of 5 stars Amazing Clarity and Ease of Use   September 1, 2008

The camera is so versatile I'm still in the learning phase. However, I can't find much, if anything, wrong with this camera. It takes amazingly sharp and clear photos. The 20x optical zoom is incredible.


5 out of 5 stars great camera   September 1, 2008
Nancy S. Wenk (maryland, usa)
I bought this camera after my husband, bought for me as a gift, a larger camera with interchangable lenses. All I wanted was a camera with good zoom and at least 10 mp. So he had to buy camera #2. I love this camera. We took it to Africa, on Safari, and my camera took distance with quality, and did as well as his too heavy one. I do have some trouble with backlight, and haven't fooled with it enough to correct some minor problems


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic "All-In-One" Camera!   August 31, 2008
Photo Dave (Texas)
I have owned this camera for about 5 weeks, and have been quite impressed by its abilities to take everything from wide angle room shots, people close-ups, and even nature shots using the 520 mm (equivalent) telephoto. I even bought the 1.7X telextender, and found it to give very good sharp images with equivalent of about 800 mm! The camera is easy to use; it is fast focusing (slows a bit for dim subjects); and menu is very user-friendly. Only drawbacks: raw files take a bit of time to load; the XD card is not the ideal storage media, and only goes to 2 GB; and cannot be fired as fast as I would like using the higher resolution jpeg's. My bottom line opinion: this is as close to a professional or semi-professional DSLR as you can find in todays market!


5 out of 5 stars A REAL winner   August 30, 2008

Reviews are nothing more than an end users opinion and personal experience with a product.
In my opinion and personal experience, Olympus has a winner with the SP-570UZ, with an excellent 20X Optical Zoom, plus a TRUE Super Macro (.04") close up. I use both these features, now with ease and great success. The PANORAMA feature is easy and fun to use. I find the SCENE feature most useful with many helpful options.
I probably qualify as an advanced amateur photographer.

Their Manual however, leaves a lot to be desired, with little to no cross referencing...often leaving you hanging to figure out what to do next. Even with these drawbacks....it was well worth this trial and error method of learning. The body is almost identical to the Olympus E-520 SLR and I learned much more from the E-520's Manual than the SP-570's.
I purchased my SP-570UZ on June 18, 2008. I have saved 1456 of over 2000, mainly nature pictures, taken on vacation in Western North Carolina and another 144 taken at a friends wedding.
My only negative thoughts about this camera is it's manual.
