Olympus SP-570 - Câmera Digital UZ (Preta)

Comments about Olympus SP-570 UZ Digital Camera (Black):

In low level lighting conditions, without the need of a flash, this camera out paced my other digital cameras, for clearity, color, and quality.

Great camera for travel. Very nice zoom and controls are easy to use and understand. Image quality degrade on the long end of the zoom, but overall a great non-dslr camera.

Overall, I like the camera. I have not used much yet, but I have been getting familiar with it. I wanted an advance Point & Shot that would be close to an SLR. I like the feel of the camera, and most of all the picture quality. I like manual controls over menu controls. Olympus did a good job balancing the two. I was able to figure out most of the controls and modes without the manual. The weakness of all these cameras is battery life. This one does pretty well, I recommend have extra batteries handy.

The ring on the lens has two function depending on the mode. In auto focus mode, the ring controls the zoom. In manual mode, the ring controls the focus, and the zoom is controlled by two buttons on the back of the camera. I would like both controls on the lens, but it's not an SLR.

I will update my review after I use it some more.

I use this product for recreational photography and for photos of all our members during our monthly wine club tastings.You can not beat the 20X zoom on this camera and it is really nice to be able to zoom using the manual ring, instead of the switches/toggles on many cameras. It did not take any time at all to get use to this feature.I have only had the camera a few weeks now, so have not scratched the surface on the learning curve area. And I don't think anyone should fault this camera until they have had it long enough to read the users manual (what a concept - reading the manual). This camera has so many features it just boggles the mind.This is my second Oly camera (C-750 previously), which I still like as well, but it did not have a large enough LCD screen and only had a 10X zoom. However, the SP570UZ has a 2.7" LCD which is very bright and clear for my purposes.For around [$], in my humble opinion, you won't get a better bang for your buck. No it is not a SLR, but very close, and you don't have to spend all that money for additional lenses.

Six years ago I upgraded my trusty 35mm SLR to an Olympus C4040 digital point and shoot and never looked back. This time around, I was looking for a new upgrade and after much comparison shopping purchased the Olympus SP570UZ from B&H. The main features that sold me on this camera were the top-rated picture quality, wide zoom range, and manual controls.

My wife and I enjoy the extremely wide zoom range and improved movie modes of the SP570UZ. The shutter lag is better and the image stabilizer will be good for the long telephoto shots. I like the zoom ring feature although it is motorized like most other point-and-shoot zooms and could have been implemented with a toggle. The manual focus will be helpful for those rare shots when the camera can't figure out where to focus. No matter which control the MF is set to (zoom ring, control knob, or the left-right buttons), the focus action is quite slow.

I was hoping the digital processor would make up for the f/2.8 lens but it didn't. My older Olympus C4040 has an f/1.8 lens that takes much better low-light pictures and assures its place will stay in our camera bag. Apparently the camera manufacturers have to sacrifice their lowest f/stop for zoom range and the market these days is for zoom range. However, I hope someone will eventually offer a sub f/2 zoom lens as it really makes the difference for shots taken at school events in the gym, caves, night, etc. where the subject is out of range of the flash.

I also tried the lens barrel adapter and a uv filter, which I had hoped to leave on the camera full time in place of the lens cap. Unfortunately, for half the zoom range your view is obstructed by the barrel so I returned them. Otherwise, the barrel is useful (required) for the telephoto lens option.

The alternative upgrade camera would have been a digital SLR, but we didn't want the additional bulk. Besides, to get an f/1.8 lens we'd have to settle for a fixed or low zoom ratio. To get the higher zoom ratio, we'd have to settle for a higher f/stop and a large lens.

Overall the SP570UZ is light, easy to use, versatile, and takes very good pictures. I didn't take away stars for the above issues because they're part of the overall compromise that makes this an outstanding camera.

Have had the camera for about 2 weeks now and am still getting to know it. Like one reviewer stated this camera has so many options that you'll need to spend a fair amount of time with the owners manual to use it to its fullest potential. So far it hasn't disappointed me. I love the manual focus ring, beats a button any day. It takes excellent pictures.

It is a good camera . but I found really annoying to have to change the zoom manualy with the ring instead of a button .

Comments about Olympus SP-570 UZ Digital Camera (Black):

Before buying the Olympus I downloaded and read the owner's manual, and I read several reviews. I am pleased with my selection. I like the control allowed by the servo zoom ring, contrary to what some of the reviewers said. I also like the ability to use the full zoom hand held. I find the menus to be well organized, again contrary to what some reviews said.

Am coming from a Nikon digital Slr, as I got tired of having to carry multiple lenses, flash, etc. Though the 570 cannot compare in low light situations, I have gotten some great pictures with it. Within its' design limitations, I am very happy with the purchase.

9 out of ten times this camera will do the perfect job. Meaning you can compose/create your image without any need of extra lenses.
AA-batteries gives secure handling even when you dont have any charger. (you can buy them anywhere)

I have used many point and shoots from differnet manufacturers. I have owned several Olympus cameras as well and to say it is a great camera is undercutting its potential. Professionals and amateurs alike will find this camera worth its weight in gold.

I LIKE THIS CAMERA, ITS GREAT.

I have only had this camera for 2 - 3 weeks, and have only shot some 200 pictures. I mostly do nature / landscapes / cityscapes and I am very pleased with ALL aspects of this camera. Color rendition is excellent, sharpness is outstanding and it is VERY easy to use, very intuitive. It also appears to be very well built. I must add that this is my first digital camera, and it may not completely replace my film camera, a fully manual Nikon. BUT, I do a lot of hiking and lugging around about 5 kg worth of lenses vs. a 0.5 kg package that gives me at least the same photographic possibilities, if not a lot more, is a no-brainer (and gives me more room for water etc..).

I have always been a big Nikon & Olympus fan, and it was a tough choice between this camera and the Coolpix P80. I ended up deciding for this one because of the slightly greater zoom range, the fact that it uses regular batteries, and the fact that it can record RAW images. I am happy with the decision.

Don't believe anything you may read about long lag/recording times. They are just fine.

I take pictures for Realtors and for Special Events.

Love large LCD and 10megapixels.

I am concerned about the 'purpling' I see when I point the lens toward a window with light.

I purchased the SP-570 UZ shortly before a vacation to Colorado and Utah, and was very glad I did. This camera let me take spectacular pictures--its super zoom is fantastic--great for shooting birds etc., has so many different features and modes, and lets you control the aperture, shutter speed and more to get the perfect picture. It's a great travel camera, and there's absolutely no shutter lag.The quality of the pictures is superb. Even though I'm a photography novice, it's the best camera for me and for any photographer on any level. I love this camera!!

I bought this camera both for my personal use, as well as for my interior decorating business. For my business, I often need a wide-angle lens to photograph smaller rooms. I had tried the Olympus E510 and found myself a bit clumsy with it, occasionally hitting one of the many small buttons on the back of that camera. This camera gives me all the flexibility I need for my work, along with the capture speed I often need for family photography. And, as I have come to expect from Olympus, the image quality is excellent.
