Olympus SP-550 UZ prices and specs
The Olympus SP-550 UZ was released on Jan 25, 2007 and is available in USA for $159.95.
The Olympus SP-550 UZ is a point and shoot camera. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Olympus SP-550 UZ is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't take photos of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The camera can take images at 7 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The SP-550 UZ has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the camera will take images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. And if you want to make images of the best quality pay attention to Sony Alpha 7S II.
The Olympus SP-550 UZ has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for taking action images of a very good quality. The camera can even capture videos but the max resolution is not very good - 640 x 480.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner won't be able to switch it. The lens has amazing 18x optical zoom.
