Olympus SP-570UZ Reviewed: Disappointingly a bad point and shoot

olympus_SP_570UZOlympus SP-570UZ is a bad, bad point-and-shoot cam according to CrunchGear. You might as well get an entry-level DSLR that takes better photos both outdoor and indoors.

The Good: Claim to fame is a huge 20X zoom, offering an effective range of 26-250mm. Takes great zoom pictures outdoors

The bad: Flash does not pop up automatically. It’s hard to take good pictures indoors without washing out the picture and causing sharp shadows and to get that flash you have to press another button. Supports only xD cards and a proprietary USB connection port. Does not come with a rechargeable battery

The bottom line: This camera sits uneasily between two extremes and, aside for the rare ornithologist, doesn’t satisfy a few important basic requirements for the price.

Price: Starting at $363.
