  • The Olympus SP-550UZ would be a great travel camera, or a second camera with a wide focal range, at a competitive price. ...

  • Beautifully made camera; fantastic zoom range; nice colours and exposure; excellent controls; useful shooting memory banks; effective image stabilisation.
  • Lens shouldve been sharper; noise unbearable at ISO 800 and above; slow autofocus; RAW mode is too slow.
  • While the Olympus SP-550UZ wont win any awards for picture quality, its an excellent consumer-class camera.For the casual holidaymaker, its flexibility (thanks to its lens), long battery life and punchy out-of-the-camera results make it an ideal choi...

  • Abstract:  Lange waren 12-fach-Zooms das Maximum bei Digitalkameras. Mit der „SP-550UZ“ stellt Olympus eine Kompaktkamera mit 18-fachem Zoom vor. Bietet sie noch weitere Superlative?

  • Zuerst kommt die Euphorie, dann die Ernüchterung – und mit ihr die Enttäuschung. Das größte Problem der Olympus SP-550 UZ ist, dass sie mit ihrer – selbst für anspruchsvolle Fotografen – verlockenden Ausstattung sehr hohe Erwartungen geweckt hat, die ...

  • Abstract:  Die Olympus SP-550 UZ ist die erste Digicam mit 18fach-Zoom – die gewaltige Brennweite reicht von 28 bis 504 Millimeter. Die langsame Auslöseverzögerung und das kräftige Bildrauschen verwehren der Kamera aber ein besseres Abschneiden im Test.

  • Conception remarquable du boîtier ; zoom optique 18x de haute qualité et grand angle; stabilisation d’images mécanique ; commandes d’exposition manuelles ; capture d’images au format RAW.
  • Très lent ; bruit élevé au-dessus dISO 400 ; images manquant légèrement de contraste.
  • Malgré une excellente ergonomie, l’Olympus SP-550 UZ pâtit de performances lentes, dimages qui manquent de contraste et présentent du bruit. ...

  • Zoom optique 18x (28504 mm), Belle construction, Stabilisation mécanique performante, Bonne définition de l'écran LCD, Mode Raw disponible
  • Lenteur à la mise au point, Bruit électronique bien présent dès 400 ISO, Qualité des images en rafale, Vidéo avec son mais sans zoom ou sans son et avec zoom, Zoom très proéminent en mode télé
  • Véritable longue vue photographique, le SP-550UZ sera définitivement plus à l'aise en extérieur avec une bonne lumière pour les paysages ou la photographie animalière. En intérieur, et malgré un grandangle bien...
