The Olympus SP-810UZ Digital Camera is an economical option for those looking to go beyond "point-and-shoot" without breaking the bank. The SP-810UZ boasts these major selling points: 14Mp CCD image sensor and the TruePic III+ Image Processor, a 24mm ultra wide-angle lens, 36x optical zoom, and a 3.0" LCD display. That translates into detailed, high-res images filled with clarity and are composed just the way you want them to be. The generous 3.0" screen on the back of the camera gives you the ability to setup the composition and focus, as well as review your pictures after you've shot.
In addition to capturing straight still images, the SP-810UZ also takes 3D-photos. Three dimensional photos take your memories and bring them to life, literally; they'll jump off the page at you and show everyone just how wonderful a time that memory was! The camera also captures 720p HD videos. As is much the rage in the digital camera world, Olympus knows how important video capture is these days. From Facebook to YouTube you'll be sharing your memories with ease thanks to the SP-810UZ's built-in video camera. To make your life even easier, your video (and audio!) can be shared with all on your HDTV using an HDMI cable (optional).
Other highlights of the camera include Wi-Fi compatibility. Using Eye-Fi cards you can upload or email images cable or card free! It doesn't get any simpler than that. Additional features of the camera include AF Tracking, which automatically tracks unpredictable and fast-moving subjects, such as kids, and ensures sharp photos. Face Detection, Beauty Mode, Shadow Adjustment, and Magic Art Filters are just a few of the other ways this camera helps you turn your vision into reality.

Comments about Olympus SP-810UZ Digital Camera (Black):
My first 35mm camera was an Olymous Pen EE IN 1967. While shopping for a digital I decided to try another Olympus. It has proven to be what I wanted...easy to use and format it is ready for any worthy moment I might find. It is a good choice for the neophyte who wants great pictures...Like me.

Comments about Olympus SP-810UZ Digital Camera (Black):
I recently bought this camera and am highly impressed by it's versatility, ease and intuitiveness of it's use, and high quality of the photos! I am a semi-professional photographer (or advanced amateur perhaps) but find the quality of the photos completely professional! I love that it's so lightweight and compact. This camera packs a punch and I highly recommend it!

Comments about Olympus SP-810UZ Digital Camera (Black):
As the SP-810 has been presented as an upgrade of SP-800, I'll also make my considerations by comparing the two cameras.
It's rather unusual, but for those who don't want to read it all, here is the conclusion: SP-810 is even more a P&S than SP-800, but the IQ is better and the IS much better. It's a camera for a hobbyist traveller, not for a photographer traveller.
The aspect of 810 is more impressive, but the shooting position is with the lens more extended, like the 800 on super macro setting. It seemed the Olympus people also saw this, so if you switch to display mode, the lens retracts after 15s. Of course when you switch back, there is a notable extra time to revert to the shooting position. They also changed the functioning of the display button: you can start displaying and switch to shooting mode, but you have to put off the camera using the general on/off button, something better I think.
From the tests I've made, mainly landscape and zoom by day in P mode, by night SCN-Night Scene, the 810 was all the time better than 800.
Other observations: I've imagined that the 810 was more than 800 in choices; well, I was wrong, because the 810 is much LESS: for instance, the SCN-Night Scene has the timer only, compared to the added EV and WB of 800. There is no bracketing, no colour editting and the setting menu was significantly reduced. There isn't the AREA choice of AF, something rather disturbing, as you have to choice SPOT or try refocusing again and again; a tipp is to zoom in to the wanted area and than zoom out again; the mark will remain there. Also shooting movies with sound prevents using the zoom, something clearly explained in the 800 Instruction Manual, but not in the 810 one; in exchange the so called "Fine Zoom" of 800 is no more called like this, but explained as a trimmed raw image and, more important, shown at the zoom scale also. The All Erase option was migrated to the display menu, probably better, I don't know...
That's all for the moment.
My advice: if you are a hobbyist in love with big zooms like me, go and get an 810, because it's better and cheaper than 800; otherwise think again...
