Product Description

The Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom helps you capture the moment and never miss the action. Its 7.1 megapixel CCD grabs every detail and the 18x wide-angle super-telephoto zoom lens gets you closer to your subject than any other compact digital camera on the market. Pre-Capture technology works as soon as the focus is locke, archiving the picture five frames in advance. Bright Capture Technology makes it easy to shoot in low light without a flash. Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization keeps your shot steady by compensating for camera shake (ideal for shooting in low light and zooming), and Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action -- capture crisp, clear images in any situation, even at longer focal lengths. . The wide-angle lens allows more in your frame & a 100x total zoom capability is perfect for indoor shooting, landscapes and group shots. Focus Modes - iESP Auto, Spot AF, Selective AF Target, Manual Shutter Speeds - 1/2000 sec - 15 sec, Bulb Full manual exposure control ISO - Auto, High ISO Auto, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200*, 5000* (*approx. 3MP) 30 Shooting Modes, including Movie Built-in flash with Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill-In, Fill-In & Red-Eye, Slow Sync modes Working Flash Range - Wide - 14.8 ft.

3.0 out of 5 stars SP550UZ Camera, March 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Olympus SP-550 Stylus Ultra Zoom 7 Megapixel Digital Camera (Personal Computers)
I purchased this camera exclusively for underwater photography. The Olympus underwater housing is a really good size and all controls are accessible.
I think the camera takes a decent photo, and the flash is quite acceptable. I am a little disappointed in the shutter lag, though. There's a rather lengthy pause between pushing the shutter button and the actual shutter actuation. I know that there's a lot happening in the camera during that time, but you have to hold the camera really still so that you don't end up with a blurry picture. I wish it was a faster process.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Event Companion, September 7, 2010

This review is from: Olympus SP-550 Stylus Ultra Zoom 7 Megapixel Digital Camera (Personal Computers)
As a social and adventure group organizer, I need to have a camera that delivers quality memories. I love my Olympus and take it with me wherever I go. From space shuttle launches to skydivers, hang gliders and zipliners, to casual social events. All of my images were perfect for websites, pages of my book and the book cover as well. I give the camera a 100%
