Olympus SP-550 Test Photos

After a 3 hours sleep I was picked up by Olympus Europe to join a trip to Spring Mountain Ranch, about 30 miles from Las Vegas where the PMA 2007 show is held. Arriving before sunrise I was able to use the new Olympus SP550 UZ Megazoom digital camera in the field. This beast of a compact camera offers an amazing 18x optical zoom (28-504mm - 35mm equivalent) and a blazing speed of 15 fps. These features are just a small part of the total package this camera offers. How about P/S/A/M settings, optical image stabilizer, ISO up to 5000, 2.5-inch LCD, Super Macro mode which lets you shoot from as close as 1cm, and much more. I have to say; I am impressed with the versatility of the Olympus SP-550 UZ!

If you are used to travel light, but you don't want to loose the capabilities of your advanced digital SLR, the new Olympus SP-550 UZ could be it. The camera is also interesting for the hobbyist or advanced shooter who is looking for a compact total solution. I just shot some scenery pictures of the sunrise and the Spring Mountain Ranch place.

Due to the effect of the upcoming sun the rocks get strong red-colored cast, perfect to catch with the Sunset scene mode. Horses were racing along, another subject which is no problem when you're using the Hi-Speed drive mode of the Olympus SP550 UZ camera. Enjoy the image test samples, after the PMA 2007 we will give you an update with a full Olympus SP-550 UZ camera review!

PMA 2009 - The digital SLR camera market is booming. Compared to last year the DSLR camera sales increased with impressive numbers and it seems the digital SLR camera has become a mass consumer product. New entry level D-SLR cameras with 6 Megapixels surprisingly were welcomed very well by the amateur photographer and it seems that within this segment of the digital camera market the resolution range of 6 - 10 Megapixel fulfils the need of the amateur photographer. Without lenses the digital SLR camera would not be complete and it is for that reason we see a huge number of digital SLR lens introductions appear this year. There are multiple camera manufacturers offering their best own brand solution for its DSLR camera, but there are even more specialized lens manufacturers who offer an impressive number of lens solutions too. Keep your eye on the digital SLR lens section of this PMA 2009 report for the latest introductions!
