Featuring the world's most powerful zoom lens (f/2.8-4.5, 28-504mm equivalent), the SP-550UZ offers maximum shooting versatility for travel, sports and everyday use. The 18x super telephoto zoom gets you closer to the action than any compact digital camera on the market, and at the same time, the wide-angle lens gets more into your frame -- perfect for shooting indoors, landscapes and group shots. The result is 100x total seamless zoom.

I LOVE this camera! I bought one, only to have it stolen 6 months later! I loved it so much that I got another one just like it. It's very portable, easy to handle, not too many buttons to confuse you and, my favorite feature, the zoom is incredible for a camera of its size! Very pleased with this purchase....twice!

The FE-310 gives you more for your money. Featuring a powerful 5x zoom (37 - 185 mm) it takes you straight to the heart of the action - wherever it is. A very ample 8.0 megapixels guarantees shots come out with astounding detail. And ensuring that human subjects are always optimally captured, this model incorporates intelligent Face Detection technology. In addition to photos, the FE-310 is also capable of recording movies with sound. All results can be viewed on the 6.4 cm LCD.Ease-of-use is one of the hallmarks of the FE series, and this model is no exception. The ?one button, one function? design principle ensures that operation is easy - even for complete novices. And with 38 languages on board, usability is taken up another notch.

Can't give a detailed review at this time but I did want to tell anyone considering this as an entry level e-camera that you can't go wrong. Excellent results. I'm a long time old-school SLR user and this is my first adventure into non-film picture taking. I bought the 2 GB memory card at the same time and installation was easy. Excellent quality pictures especially on the "motion" setting for action shots. Buy this and you'll be happy.

Olympus PT-037 Underwater Housing for SP-550 UZ

When the action moves from the beach to the water, your Olympus digital camera needn't be left behind. The PT-037 underwater case has been specially customised for the SP-550UZ camera and is waterproof up to a water pressure equivalent to a depth of 130 Feet (40 meters). This case is perfect for fascinating underwater photography or capturing the thrill of water sports and activities. With its durable, high quality polycarbonate construction, it protects the camera from water while also cushioning it from knocks and bumps on land. Complete control of photo functions, such as zoom and flash mode, is also permitted. Internal flash can be used underwater to trigger digital compatible slave Standard tripod socket

I bought this underwater housing along with the Olympus SP-560 UZ to try my hand at underwater photography. I brought it with me on a trip to Roatan and the case was everything I would expect from Olympus. No leaks, not overly heavy, the flash diffuser is nice and the button layout is ergonomic and easy to use even with dive gloves. The pictures taken came out as well as I could hope for my first ever underwater photos (Cloudy day didn't help). I think the next thing I purchase will be the external flash to bring more colors to my photos. Overall really nice product with the ability to add to it, unlike some other U/W Housings. Would recommend if you are looking to purchase and camera and U/W housing and not break the bank.

The 8-megapixel Stylus 840 features Dual Image Stabilization to prevent blurry images caused by a shaky hand or moving subjects, a brilliant 2.7-inch HyperCrystal LCD to view everything in amazing clarity, and Perfect Shot Preview to see the effects of the specific settings before pressing the shutter.

have been a long time fan of Olympus cameras,both film and digital. When it came time to up date my carry along point and shoot I naturally checked out Olympus's line up. Now, I am not brand loyal to the point of excluding all other manufactuer's products. It is very hard to buy a truly "bad" camera today. Most of it comes down to how user friendly a model is to you. Olympus cameras have traditionaly been smaller,lighter, and built with excellent optics. I have not been disappointed with my past purchases and I am not now either. The screen is big and bright, the zoom range,(somewhere around 35-180 mm in 35mm terms) is just about where 95 percent of my photo work is done. The resolution is outstanding and prints up to 11x14 on my Epson printer are great. I couldn't ask for more in a compact, easy to carry, great looking camera.
