Olympus SP-500 UZ prices and specs
The SP-500 UZ was produced on Aug 29, 2005. For today the cheapest price for the device is $69.99
The SP-500 UZ is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Olympus SP-500 UZ has different automatic modes but you won't take pictures of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Olympus SP-500 UZ can shoot photos at 6 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The SP-500 UZ has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the SP-500 UZ will shoot photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the SP-500 UZ has portable size. And if you want to produce photos of the professional quality check Leica M Edition 60.
The Olympus SP-500 UZ has max shutter speed of 1/1000 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still you will be able to take photos of moving people. The Olympus SP-500 UZ can even produce videos but the max resolution is not very high - 320 x 240.
The lens is built into the Olympus SP-500 UZ and the photographer won't be able to change it. The lens has great 10x optical zoom.
