Customer reviews
Great camera, read instructions carefully 
This is my third Olympus camera and I love it. The picture quality is great and the zoom is phenominal. The only problem that I have had so far is when in the record mode I am not getting any sound and cannot find where to turn it on. The camera menu will not let me in to change a setting. I guess I will have to call support.
Good value, excellent camera
I bought this camera primarily as an upgrade to bring for traveling. I didn’t want the bulk of having to carry around the extra lenses of an SLR, but needed more features than most point and shoot have. This camera was a perfect match for my needs. I’ve had this camera for two months now and have taken numerous pictures with it. My only two complaints are the XD memory (needlessly more expensive alternative to SD) that it requires and the fact that the auto-zoom isn’t as good as it could be. I love the range that the built in lens has and the amount of manual adjustment that is available. It will even shoot in Raw.
Amazing camera 
I went from a 5mp point and shoot camera to this Olympus and i was amazed. I thought my pictures looked good on the 5mp, but this takes amazing pictures. You can take a picture of a rock and it’ll turn out looking very professional. Very easy to use, more options then you’ll ever need. I usually shoot pics. in auto mode and they always turn out great, i can’t imagine what someone who knows what they’re doing with all the rest of these setting can do. Instead of a button for zoom this has a zoom ring, which i was a little skeptical about when i ordered it, but once i got to use it i noticed how much better control it gives you over the zoom. Wide angle option is great, 20X zoom is amazing and the picture quality of 10mp is great as well. The camera itself has a nice heavier feel to it, grip is super comfortable. Overall it feels like it’s very well made. I used to think $400-$500 for a camera was expensive but, this Olympus changed my mind, the pics. you can take with this is well worth couple hundred buck. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend this to everyone.
Ultra Zoom Digital Camera
I am very happy with this ultra zoom digital camera - a great tool for every serious photographer.
Excellent, unique image maker
Oly’s SP-570 is a unique camera. If a person is looking for a “move-up” camera from a simple “point ‘n’ shoot” this may not be the one. Nor is it a replacement for a dslr. It is in a class by itself, and takes some getting used to. However, once one gets into the “learning curve,” this camera becomes a powerful tool.
Image quality is typically Olympus - excellent, with great color reproduction. A caution: this is a small sensor camera. While it will go high ISO, images get noisy beyond ISO 400 - useful, but noisier than a dslr.
Menus: This is a very complete camera. It has all the controls of a dslr, plus many more. This can be a little confusing to someone not familiar with all this. The menus are clear enough if one spends time with the camera AND the manual. (Reading the manual with this camera is a must)!
General handling: While this is not a “pocket camera,” it is quite compact, fits very nicely in the hand, and has the controls very well located.
Speed and battery performance: Curiously, the type of battery seems to affect overall performance. I began with simple NiMh rechargeable batteries. Performance improved considerably when I put in new hybrid batteries! Focus speed is a little slower than one might be used to. This is reasonable given the huge range of the lens. Some complain that it won’t keep up with fast-moving subjects, however, there are focus settings that help alot.It is well within acceptable speed.
Overall, this is a great creative tool, and a super “walking around” or travel camera for someone with a little camera knowledge and a little patience to learn. Its flexibility is outstanding, something that is enhanced by the ability to use flash other than the built-in.
