Review: Olympus SP-570 UZ Digital Camera

olympus-sp-570-uz-digital-camera.JPGThe Olympus was the first to announce a 10MP resolution, 20x wide-angle optical zoom (26-520mm, 35mm equiv.) with sensor-shift Image Stabilization with its SP-570.

The SP-570 UZ shines in providing both a wide-angle as well as an exceptional tele reach We are continually amazed at the tremendous reach of ultra zoom digital cameras these days and
Olympus’s entry into the megazoom class ensures the greatest magnification rating of any of the products. At 20X, photos even taken at a distance of up to 30 feet  looked as if it had been taken right  close to the subject.

The SP-570 UZ’s range is also amazing: This model covers the equivalent of a 35mm film camera’s range of 26mm to 520mm; it’s therefore great for taking both wide-angle pictures and very detailed macro (close-up) shots.

But Olympus’s zoomy monster isn’t a one-trick pony by any means. The SP-570UZ also features a servo-controlled zoom; 23 distinct scene modes; the ability to let you manually modify ISO, aperture, shutter, and focus settings; a “guide” mode that steps you through the photographic process; and intuitive controls.

The camera’s controls are familiar to anyone who has some experience using a digital camera. Four buttons controlling basic functions line the left edge of the 2.7-inch screen, while five buttons arrayed like a directional pad serve double duty as controls for the flash, the self-timer, and the macro (close-up) mode. You turn a ring on the lens to adjust the servo-controlled zoom, but a small motor actually moves the lens. It’s intuitive, but the motion of the motor-driven lens–which doesn’t move exactly in proportion to your turning of the dial–took a little getting used to before it was no longer distracting.

We also had a bit of trouble getting the autofocus to lock onto targets in low light. The autofocus would scan from one end to the other trying to sharpen the image, and sometimes took up to 2 seconds to fully lock on to a focal point. In bright daylight, however, the iESP targeting system (which the autofocus controls use to pick a spot to focus on) worked remarkably well, and produced clear shots even at the maximum zoom, aided by the image stabilization system built into the lens.
