Super Zoom Yields Superior Results (DCHQ Editors - 6/5/08)

The Olympus SP-570 UZ is at the forefront of Extended Zoom cameras. With the most powerful optical zoom currently available (20x), the camera takes spectacular photographs from afar. And with a comfortable design and helpful scene-selection menu, the SP-570 UZ is an approachable camera for both veterans and novices to Extended Zooms. As far as top-of-the-line Extended Zooms go, the Olympus SP-570 UZ is tough to beat. read original review
