SP560

Get closer and wider all in one
Get as close to your subject as you want with the 8.0 Megapixel Olympus SP-560 UZ. Picking out hard-to-capture subjects like birds in trees or the kids on the football field is made easy with an 18x optical zoom, while wide-angle capabilities provide a broader view - so you'll also be able to photograph the whole family in a single group shot. And forget the worries of blurred images from camera shake too. An advance image stabilisation system ensures sharp shots, even at large magnification levels.

Description

back

Discover undisturbed corners of nature or experience the satisfaction and immediacy of great sports shots from way up in the stands. The power of an 18x wide optical zoom (equiv. to 27-486mm) is matched with Dual Image Stabilisation so you can say goodbye to blur caused by camera shake and simply concentrate on your subject.

Whether at a professional sports event or a kids’ football game, the high burst rate of 15 fps* lets you keep up with the action. In addition, the clever Pre-capture mode** even makes it possible for this camera to record the five frames occurring immediately before the shutter release button is pressed.

Automatic and manual (P/A/S/M) shooting options along with numerous scene modes make this intuitive model fun to use for novices and experts alike. Thanks to Face Detection Technology, human subjects remain in clear focus at all times.

It sounds incredible, but it’s true: The Smile Shot scene mode lets theSP-560 UZ detect when a human face smiles and automatically releases the shutter at that moment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great camera for the price, 5 Dec 2007
By K. Tomlinson (West Midlands, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have owned Olympus cameras since the OM1 became available in the early 1970's. The SP-560 does everything expected of it and more, and completely matches the quality of earlier models. The 18x zoom is incredible and using the image stabiliser gives a pin sharp result. I have found the colour reproduction excellent, battery life good and the video mode of 640x480 @ 30fps, a higher quality than my previous C-8080, is a bonus. I'm not bothered about the fact that you can't zoom when in that mode as I prefer to stop filming, zoom, and then start again. One point to know is get a type H xd card (Sandisk or Fuji are currently available) as you then have no limit on the length of the video clip other than the size of the card - the 40 secs referred to in the manual is with an Olympus type M card, although they are good for the panoramic function with stills. Rear screen and viewfinder are clear and bright. The number of options/modes on the controls are almost overwhelming, but the manual does a good job of explaining them. All in all, I'm delighted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera for the price but beware..., 24 Feb 2008
By Dr. J. D. Mitchell "Jon Mitchell" (Plymouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lets face it, £225 for this level of technology is nothing short of amazing. Haven't digital cameras come on the last few years. And, wow, does it take great pictures. Vivid colours & fantastic zoom and macro settings!

But lets cut through the technical jargon for those of us that just want great pictures with little fuss and maximum flexibility. As a true amateur I dont understand talk about noise and ISO etc.

What I do understand is that sometimes more is less. This camera is complicated. Yes, pop it onto Auto and it will snap away to your hearts content but if you want to use the more advanced features then take a seat, grab yourself a beer and get reading the instruction manual. Here are my tips!

1. Dont buy this camera a week before you go on a wildlife holiday. I did and regretted it. To get to grips with the zoom, the anti shake and the myriad of other features will take you a few weeks otherwise your close up rhino pictures may look a little less convincing to friends back home!

2. Dont expect it to do all the work! 18 x zoom is one hell of a lens in a fairly cheap camera and, with a compact CCD, conditions need to be right to get your dream shots!

3. Dont expect it to be an SLR. It isnt. You just dont get that much for your money but if you treat it well and you learn your techniques, the photos are still pretty outstanding.

4. Be very careful in difficult conditions! I took my new pride and joy to the rainforests of Costa Rica. 6 days in, the humidity took its toll and the camera packed in for good!! Despite its rugged feel, it doesnt seem to have the go anywhere build of my Cybershot. Thankfully, the camera shop where I bought it have replaced it so time will tell.

All in all, this is a great camera. Research it, practice with it and keep it safe and sound and it will be a great investment and produce wonderful results. However, if you think the extra quid will turn you froma happy snapper to David Bailey or that the camera will accompany you to the North Pole, then you may be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a camera, 3 Feb 2008
By mike "Mike aging rocker" (Manchester England) - See all my reviews
In my twenties/thirties possessed SLR's by Pentax, Cannon and Nikon. Then had a family and didn't have the time for photography. When I started looking at the early digital cameras I was very disappointed with performance, especially definition, shutter lapse and lack of any decent optical zooms. That has all changed. Have now owned over ten digital cameras from pocket point and shoots to the Fuji SE 130 (7 times optical zoom) and before this the Fuji 6500 (10 times optical zoom, 28-300mm). When I read about this camera I had to give it a try and I have not been disappointed. Didn't think anything would make me swap from Fuji but this camera did and I am so glad that I did.
