Decent camera for the $$

byalanbweaver Apr 25, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Fairly easy to use, LONG telephoto
Cons LONG telephoto can cause a bit of blurriness
Recommended it? Yes

The camera is reasonably priced. Image quality is good, the battery is durable (long life) and the zoom is good. It does lack image stabilization.

Its best feature is the 10X lens. This also is its detriment as the camera has no image stabilization which can result with blurry pictures in... Read full review »

HAVE GROWN TO LOVE THIS CAMERA

byhgxstitch Sep 21, 2007

Pros Great Zoom, hibernates to maximize AA battery life while shooting, produces quality pics
Cons Eats thru batteries when uploading to PC, not for the person who wants immediate results
Recommended it? Yes

After the purchase of this camera last year I thought for sure I had thrown my money down the drain. But with months of toying with all the modes (21 programed,there are unlimited customizable options, plus automatic)this is my go to camera of choice when traveling light. I have taken pictures of...

Very Disappointing

Pros Light weight, that's about it
Cons Slow focusing, no lithium battery option, everything else I listed above
Recommended it? No

Like someone else wrote, I too thought this camera would be comparable to the C-750UZ. Sadly, it doesn't come close. This camera has a nice zoom feature, but good luck getting your camera to lock in on a focus. I've had a lot of experience with SLR cameras. I chose not to purchase an SLR camera...

Fully automatic to highly configurable...

Pros Small and light, but fits even large hands. Highly configurable. Large, bright...
Cons Old style lens cap - dangles. Lens can throw a shadow on flash ultra-macro shots.
Recommended it? Yes

I largely agree with kenaloll's review.
My first camera was a '73 model Olympus SP - a beautifully designed auto/manual rangefinder that still operates flawlessly. Back then, SP stood for Spot Meter which was available as a momentary, press-to-meter button on the back convenient to the right... Read full review »

Pros Picture quality, large LCD screen, shooting flexibility, long battery life.
Cons Outdoor screen washout. No image stabilization.
Recommended it? Yes

I have enjoyed this camera for a year now. It has a wealth of features and is easily usable from fully manual to totally automatic modes. I had a Sony DSC camera previously, and can really appreciate the difference in picture quality and detail. Going from 3.2 megapixels to 6 has made me really... Read full review »

Good camera but not perfect

byjmatts Feb 12, 2008
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great optical zoom, very sharp outdoor still photos
Cons shutter lag slow, not good for action shots
Recommended it? No

I received this camera as a gift from my wife. One of the reasons I really wanted this model was because of the awesome 10X optical zoom. Most lower price point (less than $250) digital cameras have a good digital zoom (10 to 20X) but a poor optical zoom (usually less than 5X). When it comes to... Read full review »

Pros Looks and feels like my old 35 mm. Easy to use. Great battery life.
Cons Can't think of any.
Recommended it? Yes

Over the last four years, we have owned four digital cameras, some pricey - some not. The Olympus SP 500 is, by far, the very best digital camera we have ever owned.
Easy to use. Optical zoom, pre-sets, great flash, incredible battery life.
We've used this camera for macro close-up shots,... Read full review »
