 gillmartin review December 13, 2008
I find this camera easy to hold and handle, It's focusing power is great a very well engineered machine that is a pleasure to handle and shoot great photos with. Thank you Olympus for the SP-570UZ
Fantastic camera! November 11, 2008
The Olympus SP-570UZ is handy, simple to learn to use and produces terrific results. I especially love the crispness of close-ups. I got it because it has a hot shoe but have not used the external flash yet. Otherwise, the 560UZ is just about as good. I highly recommend both of these models, but if you want the extra flash, get the 570UZ.

I love this camera. I bought it for digital submissions of art work for my Advanced Placement Studio Art students and it takes wonderful images.
 Not what I'm used to in an Olympus October 23, 2008

I have owned Olympus cameras for over 10 years now and have always had a great experience, so when I was ready to move up to a bigger model I of course looked to them.
I am so dissapointed though, not only am I out over $400, I have a camera that is inferior to my old olympus. I am not impressed by the quality of the prints this camera takes, I find it very cumbersome to use. I was so quick to focus on things with the little toggle button on my old camera and now I have to use two hands to focus this and for nothing more than show, it really isn't a camera that you have to move the lens cap to focus, it could easily be done with a toggle switch, but the manufacturer wanted it to appear more professional. I don't think the shoot button is laid out well either it is hard to man this camera with just one hand. The quality of the photos when you do a sports action, or multi frame action mode is horrible. I need to sit down with someone who knows cameras better than I to see if we can over ride the factory settings on that feature. I also didn't like how the unit opens to hook up the USB port to download the pictures onto your computer, it is a very tight fit and I am always worried about breaking something.
So to wrap it up, I wouldn't recommend this to someone who is not camera savvy, (doesn't know what Aperature means etc) or who wants some thing to just point and shoot.
A few features I do like though, are the scene and guide features where it has "dummy" settings for lighting, specific scenes etc. and as for the 20X zoom, it really does get you up close fast, and takes a fairly decent picture. I would have to say the 20X zoom takes much better photos than the standard photo taking mode.
Olympus has made some awesome cameras but this is not one of them.
A good replacement for an SLR October 23, 2008

I had my Canon XTi stollen. Very sad day. Loved it. But I needed a decent camera to take with me on a trip to SE Asia, and I had no time or money to research the new Canon XSi. SO I went with a review in some PC magazine and tried the Olympus SP-570UZ, especially appealing with Amazon's price. After about 2000 pictures, lots of experimenting, I am very happy with this camera. The image quality and sharpness is outstanding which is what I most require in any camera. Its long zoom (20x) results in very sharp, high quality images. Using it is pretty simple, but I encourage folks to learn how to use all the extra features. One has almost SLR control but there is also some simple settings and guides to just point and shoot photography. But more like, Think, point and shoot. If a SLR is out of your budget, or your need a second camera with your SLR, or would like to almost have an SLR but without the steep learning curve, this camera might work for you. This camera is definitely of the highest quality.
