5 out of 5 stars awesome pictures   October 4, 2008
J and B (IN)
Best camera I have ever used. OMB we took 1500+ picture on our 2 week vacation in Europe. Takes excellent pictures. Used two 2 gig cards. Keep a spare card and some batteries in a case. Picked up a case from bestbuy. Used the viewfinder to save some juice.


4 out of 5 stars Its a good camera for a n00b   September 30, 2008
Luis E. Pena (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I had to buy a camera for my college class and i decided to pick this one up. I loved it at first but now after many uses, it tends to be just a tad bit slower. However, the the cost, its a great camera.


5 out of 5 stars Best Camera I have ever had   September 30, 2008
KENNYBOP (Virginia mountains)
This camera does everything I want and need and is a super value for the money. I do a lot of super Macro close ups and the quality of these pictures are excellent. With the rapid fire I am able to get good pictures(albeit at a lower resolution which is fine for snapshots) of our Grandaughter who is just learning to walk. The dual image stablization and face recognition also helps with her pictures. The 20x optical zoom is great for pictures of the deer, turkeys, raccoons and other animals that come into our yard. Really the only downside is the relatively high price of the xD cards but that is a small factor in the total package.

Olympus 202132 Nylon Carrying Case for Ultra Zoom Digital Cameras

As a novice/amateur and not an advanced enthusiast, I love this camera.

Does not come w/ it's own case. Consider the Olympus 202132.

Got the SP-570UZ to replace my C-755 4MP 10X optical zoom used for family, friends, and annual trip to a Big Ten football game. Generally sit 8 rows from field, and the old 10X was great, looking forward to the 20x this year. Was very happy w/ my "old" C-755.

Did side by side shot comparison. The 570UZ at low/no zoom captures larger field or window than my C-755. I prefer the manual 570UZ optical zoom to the C-755 motorized optical zoom, I find the manual zoom gives me more control, motor not as fine control when I try to go higher or lower, end up picking between two motor zoom points when I want an in between magnification on the C-755, the 570 manual zoom lets me put it right where I want it.

And really love the image stabilization, which is really critical on close up full zooms which can be blurry if you don't have perfectly steady hands.

Takes a high capacity & fast memory 2GB XD M+, holds 800 pictures, only have to transfer pictures I want, will probably never have to delete to get space. The LCD viewer takes up a large amount of the back of the camera, very nice, LCD viewer has amazing resolution and color.

Takes a good quality 30 minute video, w/ sound. Video uses the digital zoom, not the optical zoom. The digital zoom works quite well for the video. I have not tried combining the digital zoom w/ the optical for still pictures, because of past experience that digital zoom was pretty negligable. I understand digital zoom technology has gotten considerably better, so we'll see how well that works for still w/ optical.

570 is physically larger than the C-755, but still compact enough for easy carry & fits the hand well (at least mine, I'm 6'2").



1 out of 5 stars Zoom error Fatality!!!   September 8, 2008

0 out of 1 found this review helpful

my wife bought me this beauty for xmas. i never could get it to do much in the way of macro or quick shots of birds and airplanes, just too slow to focus, and the face-focus is confusing; but still a nice camera...until it fell one foot off a table. power on and the tube zzzts out then zzzts back in, the display reads Zoom error and it shuts off. i sent it off and it was returned "unrepairable". so now i have an expensive bait-weight. i love olymppus, have used their stylus's for years, and still use my old one.. again. what happened olympus?
