The SP-590 UZ belongs to the category of slr like bridge cameras. It means that the device is not so big as DSLR cameras but however takes perfect pictures and has a variety of shooting modes.

The camera can make pictures at 12 megapixels max resolution. But for better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.33' (6.08 x 4.56 mm) sensor which means that the SP-590 UZ will make pictures with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it is smaller. But if you want to make pictures of the professional quality check Leica M-P (Typ 240).

The SP-590 UZ has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for taking action pictures of a satisfactory quality. The camera can even produce videos but the max resolution is not too high - 640 x 480 (30.

The lens is fixed and you won't be able to change it. The lens provides great 26x optical zoom.
