[obol] Camera Review: Olympus SP 550-UZ

[khanh tran]

Hi Obolers!

Here is an current, comprehensive review and link for the new Olympus SP 
550-UZ digital camera with a 18x zoom and 7.1 megapixel feature.  The camera 
got decent reviews and sells for 500.00.

Although enticing with it's zooming capabilities and image stabilization, I 
still prefer my current model  Olympus C770-Ultra zoom (10x zoom and 4.0 
megapixel) for photo quality.  T

The review did mention good photo qualities depending on certain situations. 
Still tempting to try one out and compare!!

You can see an example of the photo quality from my existing camera (that 
sells for about the same price) of a Northern SawWhet owl on Greg Gillison's 
website under recent photos.

Good birding to you!
