more info from Olympus

The SP-590UZ digital camera from Olympus merges simplicity and convenience with a high-performance optic, and they wrapped it all up in a manageable form-factor. This amazing camera almost disappears in your backpack and weighs less than a pound; you can carry it all day long and you'll still want to take it with you tomorrow.

Telephoto and wide-angle shooters will find that the SP-590UZ's lens delivers above and beyond the call of duty. Zooming from true wide-angle all the way out to super-telephoto, the focal length of this fine optic spans what would be 26-676mm in a standard 35mm camera system. Photographic scenarios there were previously thought to be impossible become a tangible reality; eagles roosting on a ledge in the distance, or shooting a team photo in a less-than-ideal corner of the gym - the SP-590 handles both with aplomb, and its 12MP capture ensures a quality enlargement for everyone!

• 12MP Capture: The high-resolution 1/2.33" CCD sensor produces 12MP images with fine detail and excellent enlargement capabilities

• 26x Zoom Lens: Extremely versatile 4.6 - 119.6mm f/2.8/5.0 lens (26 - 676mm equivalent in 35mm format) handles scenic vistas, intimate portraits, and long-range telephoto shots easily

• 2.7" LCD Screen: With its excellent contrast and color reproduction, wide viewing angle, and enhanced visibility in direct sunlight, the HyperCrystal II LCD provides detailed on-site viewing and editing. Additionally, the screen enables histogram review and access to the cameras shooting guides and Frame Assist feature

• Dual Image Stabilization: 2-in-1 anti-blur solution:
Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization compensates for camera shake.
Digital Image Stabilization affords a higher sensitivity setting that allow the shooter to freeze action shots with a higher shutter speed

• Face Detection: Optimizes focus and exposure for sharp brilliant portraits

• Fast Burst Capability: Take several shots in rapid succession; with a burst rate of up to 10 fps @ 3MP you can freeze action to capture the decisive moment

• Creative Mode Options: Manual Override: manual exposure and focus for complete creative control
Panorama: captures 3 images and stitches them together in-camera
Beauty Mode: smooths skin, removes unwanted wrinkles/blemishes
Soft Background Focus: slightly blurs background to accent foreground.

• Image File Formats: JPEG: no-hassle Mac or PC file sharing, printing, and viewing
Video: AVI Movie w/sound; 640x480, 320x240 @ 30/15fps

• Pre-Capture: When the camera locks focus on your subject, Pre-Capture ensures the perfect shot by instantly archiving up to ten frames (@ 3MP)

• Shadow Adjustment Technology: Capture scenes in difficult lighting situations - perfect for outside shots in bright sun when dark shadows are prevalent or shooting in backlit situations

• Perfect Shot Preview: A live multi-frame window on the LCD lets you preview and select the effects of various settings that will capture the perfect shot

• Built-in and External Flash: Integral flash w/flash exposure compensation provides additional illumination
Optional external wireless flash for enhanced lighting control
