Editors' Comments

The Olympus SP-510 is a nice extended zoom model, offering 10x optical zoom and full manual controls for power users. The SP-510 also features Olympus' "Bright Capture" technology, which can coax good photos out of low light conditions (albiet with some reduction in total megapixels, from 7 to 3MP).
