This is a replacement for Canon S1IS and I found very good zoom. Excellent macro performance. Just move the camera to handle him. Buy Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom at the best price of the menu is very easy to use, the buttons S1 and unless a large LCD screen is very clear. Unfortunately, neither he nor his turn. Excellent video.

It is a very good camera. It has a wide zoom off 1cm macro Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom 18x price (100x digital). Performance is exceptional. Zoom fully in low light is still high. The image stabilization is excellent. I got good photos to 4 "shutter lag. She has a great burst. 3MP To 7fps and 1.2mp is 15 frames. You have to sacrifice some resolution, but it can still be used. Furthermore, it should be shutter lag, in particular, then you take the photo and points out the wrong attitude in the red. You have up to 50-key ISO, there is no need for additional ISO or Flash (if Pitch Black) as long as you turn stabilization. There are many functions, ranging from alarm modes submarines. In general, it is a good camera and very versatile. ETS is also good for those who are simply curious, but you should try it, I do not know what your standards.

I had many Olympus cameras, and it is really in every sense. Now that the AA rechargeable batteries are back, and at 2500mAh and above, these batteries last thing I really need not more Li-ion. I have 2x objective, which makes the conversion of optical 36x, but it certainly loses something Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom Price at the edges. I can get great pictures of birds, animals, and from the beginning. Would I recommend someone like an SLR.

I love everything about this impressive device. My only concern of the battery compartment, a typical design of Olympus, which is a break a little easier, I'm bad previous Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom prices experience with this kind of design of the door, but I not hope to experience with the SP-550!

I really recommend the SP-550 Ultra Zoom camera for any beginner or intermediate

After moving from Olympus C5050 Zoom (something broken!) For SP550 I do not expect much progress in capacity. Zoom is smooth and fairly quickly because in a circle. If you Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom prices are correct, not a difficult task, it will give good results in almost all conditions. Advanced features such as shutter speed and manual push to 7.1MP DSLR RAW means and opportunities that the digital zoom is especially useful in extreme applications.

Oldest C5050 Zoom is disrupted when you turned on with the lens cap. This feature is only away from her. Battery life surprisingly, the potential of over two hundred recordings, even 1700mA Ni-Cd nature of the horn and buttons feel good. LCD size, even though the digital viewfinder with diopter adjustment profile allowed me to use comfortably, even if I wear glasses.

The picture quality is good seriously with the ability to capture flawless images and squarely that the surface of the moon (yes really very different), meerkats thin. I smiled to mask brilliant shot a hippopotamus, and was replaced by the ability to deep green eye of the Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom-value is passed to a super macro that is so deep, you are only take cold impressed.

Seriously, I can not imagine what else can we expect from a product in this category. If you want to change lens, you can buy a digital SLR, do not expect a compact pro-consumer tires to jump. The only thing really missing, and it really bothers me is the complete guide. Once again we expect to spend hundreds of dollars just for the head with a PDF file on the CD-ROM to print. As a new user, it would be great to take these with me to shoots, in its way, many features drunk Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom will find tons of prizes to the implementation of a file handle with 90 + page instruction is not conducive. PLEASE, Olympus, stop insulting your customers with the disadvantage of savings!

It is buying the Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom camera for the winners at the best price. Much better than a series Olympus FE. I am very happy with this camera even cheaply. It is of great importance for the dollar.

In general, a good camera. I showed that to buy Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom for better results at the cost of my friend, the senior photographer for Time Magazine, and he loved his head shot of my cat SC Cool Cat. He checked on the monitor of 24 inches.

This unit replaces my old Panasonic 12 times optical zoom. Most of these cameras with zoom lens starts long 35 mm or 38 mm. After the 28 mm camera offers the world ", giving you more options.
Be sure to "choose" to "Memory XD Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom price" card, with 'H' in front of him. This is the only type of card that you can use all the functions of the device. If you choose a primary card, the loss of sports "M", the card system and the full video is much slower. It costs $ 20 more or not. Also, make sure you are for most cards (2gig), how are you a total of 492 photos at the highest setting.
House believes Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom Price outbreak great color and very accurate. The stabilizing function of the device functions perfectly, and I was very impressed with how my old unit was set very high for me.
This device is powered by AA batteries. Personally, I think it's the biggest advantage. Best rechargeable batteries (2600 mAh) is over 600 shots before recharging it needs to supply. In addition, the AA batteries you can find anywhere if the batteries are empty.
I miss the button on the device itself to take some pictures. To do this, the camera menu to do. In addition, that among many photos, the screen is blank until you're done. I am confident this will be fixed in the update coming years.
In general, it is an excellent device. With a big lens, and with 7MP camera, ar opportunities Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom Price e infinite.

Facilitate perfect control in a good position to do the work in the viewfinder diopter.
