Captures both JPEG and RAW formats, Weighty build means a former grip, Lots of features for the price

Good results are achievable from the Olympus SP-510UZ if you work at it, and there’s a wealth of hand holding options for the beginner to simply point and shoot, but we feel more experienced photographers will want something extra from the cameras p...
Substandard picture quality
Slow response, especially saving RAW files
Feels cheap
