Olympus Stylus 770SW – Easy Camera Review The Olympus Stylus 770SW is the Incredible Hulk of digital cameras. It can be dunked in water to depths of 33 ft, crushed with a weight up to 220 lbs, dropped from a height of up to 5 ft, and frozen to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Sure, you can do that to other cameras too, but the 770SW differs from them because it will still function.Lowest Price: |
Olympus SP-550UZ Easy Camera Review The ultra-zoom portion of the digital camera market is taking off as consumers look beyond the standard 3x and manufacturers offer more and more.

Olympus Stylus 1000 Easy Camera Review The current top of the line digital camera in the Stylus series, the Olympus Stylus 1000 boasts an impressive 10-megapixel image sensor, a 3x zoom lens and an unusually wide ISO range of 64 to 6400. The impressive specs don’t necessarily match the image quality of the photos though. The Stylus 1000, which sells for about $315 online, has some positive aspects but some major limitations too.

Olympus SP-500 UZ Easy Digital Camera Review The SP-500 UZ is Olympus’ version of an “ultra zoom” digital camera with its 10x optical zoom lens and 6 megapixels in a SLR-shaped body. The SP-500 still has compact 4.15 x 2.93 x 2.8-inch measurements, but weighs a relatively hefty 10 ounces without the card and batteries. The Olympus SP-500 UZ requires 4 AA batteries to work, which makes finding spare batteries easy because AAs can be found just about anywhere. However, the battery life isn’t as long as cameras with rechargeable lithium batteries. Still, the Olympus SP-500 has a lot to offer. It has 21 scene modes and a full auto mode to please the point-and-shooters, along with manual, aperture priority, shutter priority, and 4 custom modes to please the manual control freaks. The Olympus SP-500 has a lot of desirable features at a reasonable $379 price. Lowest Price: |
