Olympus sp-600uz Digital Camera Specs and Reviews

February 6, 2011

Description

THE ULTRA-STYLISH ULTRA-ZOOM.
With its 15x wide-angle zoom and one-touch HD movie recording feature, the SP-600UZ is one seriously sophisticated camera. But don’t let its big capabilities fool you. The SP-600UZ is truly compact, making it the perfect travel companion for weekend getaways, and everyday snapshots.

15X WIDE-ANGLE ZOOM (F3.5–F5.4, 28–420MM EQUIVALENT).
This 15x zoom lets you get incredibly close to your subject while the 28mm wide-angle lens lets you zoom back out for panoramas and group shots.

1. Olympus SP-600UZ Review by PhotographyBay.com

The Olympus SP-600UZ fits in a class of budget-friendly superzoom cameras with the likes of the Nikon L110 and Fuji S1800. All of these cameras run in the neighborhood of $200 to $250 and offer similar zoom ranges. As a result, I will reference the Nikon and Fuji cameras when comparing features with the SP-600UZ.

2. Olympus SP-600UZ by Cnet

As with many things in life, expectations play a big part in whether you’ll like the Olympus SP-600UZ. The two main attractions are its wide-angle lens with 15x zoom and its price; it can easily be found for less than $200. The rest of its features, which include one-press recording of 720p HD movies, 1GB of internal memory, and AA batteries, are good for the money, too. Based on looks, specs, and features, the SP-600UZ is a good deal.

The Olympus UZ series has been around for 10 years now and is one of the oldest lines in the digital business. With enormous zoom ratios the name of the game, the UZ series has traditionally traded image quality for big numbers. Read on to find out why the newest budget model, the SP-600, does little to shake this convention. By Chris Weigl
