Olympus SP-810UZ review

 

The SP-810UZ stands apart from most SLR-shaped ultra-zoom cameras. With no electronic viewfinder, manual exposure or manual focus and the bare minimum of physical controls, it's really just a point-and-shoot camera with a very big zoom. That's not...

Limited control and poor quality in low light, but for outdoor telephoto photography on a tight budget, it's a reasonable choice

Olympus SP-810UZ Compact Digital Camera Review

 

The Olympus SP-810UZ is a compact digital camera with a massive 36x optical zoom. Available for less than £200, it appears at first glance to be quite a bargain, Daniel Bell finds out if it is.

Good value for money; Decent image quality; Massive optical zoom range; Fast hi-speed shooting

Focusing can be a little slugglish when using lots of optical zoom

24-864mm). It's small, too, but this tiny stature means that buttons and dials have been kept to a minimum and there's no external mode dial. Shooting modes are instead adjusted via the on-screen menu, and it doesn't feature any manual or semi-auto...

Wonderful for the price

 

I now own 2 of these excellent cameras. I use them for birdwatching, and feel seriously smug as I walk around with it in my pocket while I see people lugging around several kilograms of SLR with monster lenses. I doubt is many of them have more than...

Good but does not replace a DLSR

this camera performs superbly !!

Consumer review by:

Great lens, but not for those who want a step into high level photograpy.

 

I bought this camera just before I left for my honeymoon, dreaming to make proper night shots under stars etc. It has a great lens, great zoom and very handy photo modes, long battery duration. An overall great camera if you are looking for a compact...

Awesome Camera

 

So many features(14MP, 36x+4x Zoom, LI.battery, USB charging,SDXC support, HD recording etc etc.) in such a low price is unmatchable. You definetly cannot find such features in such a cost. Although after sales sevice is still to be seen. Hope that...
