[obol] Camera Review: Olympus SP 550-UZ

[Jason Randolph (Conservation For The Oregon Coast)]

Evening all... :)

As an addition to this which Khanh posted, I have to suggest (highly) 
that you spend plenty of time handling a few different cameras in this 
market segment. Amazingly, like anything related to color or glass, 
everyone has their own personal opinions and "gut reactions". I do not 
own the Olympus 550-UZ but did handle one for a few hours and despised 
it. I settled on different camera due to what I would have considered 
serious potential flaws in the field. Of course, this was specifically 
my own experience and I suggest that you all have your own experiences.

Enjoy the digital camera world, it sure is nice not paying to develop 
all those terrible pictures (which I am an expert at taking)! :)
