Small imaging-sensor. Issues with fringing and distortion. Only supports xD cards. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
 |
| The Olympus SP-570UZ is superbly designed and packed with worthy features, including optical image-stabilization and a whopping 20x zoom. It's easy to use for point-and-shooter and prosumer alike, and it includes features spanning both markets, from face detection to RAW support. The only thing hampering the SP-570UZ from a sure-fire recommendation is its so-so, point-and-shoot sized imaging-sensor, which performs well for its class but undermines the camera's prosumer appeal. Nevertheless, if you're looking for a functional bridge between a compact and a DSLR, the SP-570UZ could fit the bill. |
