Olympus SP-800 UZ
(September 2010)
A megazoom, well featured, digital bridge camera, the Olympus SP-800 UZ (ultrazoom) possesses good specifications and at a reasonable price.
What’s good about the SP800:
- Versatile zoom takes telephoto range up to a massive 840mm equivalent
- Fantastic flash range
What’s disappointing:
- Limited battery life (and not AA batteries)
- Focus issues at long focal lengths or in dim light
