The Olympus SP 610UZ is available for £169 (you can get a better deal if you search) and is a very good deal considering the features it offers. It is a good travel companion for casual photographers. It doesn’t have a lot of manual settings to play...

Olympus - SP-610UZ

 

Olympus has recently release a spate of new digital cameras. We recently investigated the VG-130, which is essentially an entry-level model for those new to compact digitals, giving them plenty of features for less than £100. ...

If you're a seasoned explorer who's maybe not ready to own a complex DSLR, the Olympus SP-610UZ is relatively inexpensive, has an excellent 22x zoom and plenty of creative features, albeit mostly menu driven. BEST POINT: Massive 22x optical zoom....

Olympus SP-610UZ review

 

22x optical zoom, HD video capture and 3D still image capture all combine in a compact body. But how does the Olympus SP-610UZ measure up on the testing bench?

Large focal range, large LCD screen, HD video capture, compact size

Half-baked 3D implementation, poor build quality, no Raw capture

Olympus SP-610UZ Digital Camera Review

 

Daniel Bell reviews the Olympus SP-610UZ, with a massive 22x optical zoom and 16Mp sensor.

22x optical zoom; Value for money; Good LCD screen; Super Macro mode; In-camera Panoramic stitching

Olympus SP-610UZ Review

 

Announced earlier this year, the Olympus SP-610UZ is the successor to last year's SP-600UZ, sporting a 14-megapixel sensor and a new 22x ultra-zoom lens. Also on board is Olympus' sensor-shift image stabilisation system, a range of Art Filters and a...

Considering its tiny, pixel-packed sensor and an ultra-zoom lens that naturally comes with its own set of compromises, the Olympus SP-610UZ produces surprisingly usable images, at least outdoors in bright light. While noise reduction does rob you of...

Olympus SP-610UZ

 

I really loved this product which gave me a chance to take amazing professional photos with a compact camera. The micro photos are just amazing. Just spend some time in discovering the features and enjoy your time!

The only point is, you need to find the right player for the video recordings. The visual matial cannot synchronize with the audio on iPad and the quality is really poor on real player and windows media player.
