A pretty good camera, with room for improvement menu wise.
(by James DeRuvo - 6/19/07)There are many cameras that offer image stabilization as a standard feature. And although some camera models have caused the viewfinder to disappear, I am currently testing the Olympus SP-550UZand have so far been quite pleased with the results. 7.1 MP, 18x zoom, image stabilization and some great scene based program features including a 15fps burst mode. This is great for sports photography.
It also has in camera editing features such as cropping, sepia and black/white alerations, night modes, super macro mode for REALLY close up shots, panoramic guides for shooting multiple shots to stitch into a panorama, even a mode for shooting documents.
I'm really enjoying it. If I had to complain, however, I have found the menu structure wanting and difficult to use on the fly. But other than that, it's a top notch camera.
