The SP-570 UZ is a 10 megapixel zoom camera in a compact body from Olympus, featuring the convenience of a point-and-shoot as well as image quality traditionally reserved for higher-end cameras. This camera comes equipped with a 20x zoom lens, which is more powerful than its predecessor, the Olympus SP-560 UZ with 18x zoom. The camera’s wide optical zoom lens is designed for detailed extreme close-ups, which is assisted by integrated dual image stabilization for sharp photos when the camera shakes while in zoom mode. The SP-570 UZ has also received a resolution upgrade, capable of taking 10 megapixel photos at 3648 x 2736 pixels. The average user will likely enjoy the 22 scene modes, which are a series of optimized settings for the most frequently encountered shooting conditions. More advanced users will appreciate the camera’s manually adjustable focus and zoom modes. Accepting xD-Picture Card memory and readily available AA batteries, this camera makes it possible for all users to capture and share high-quality digital photos.
