Great camera for experienced and novice

I haven't used it much due to having major surgery right after purchase. But I also have a Z980 that I have used for a year and the SP-590 blows it away in ALL respects.

really great camera[...] only negatives i found was lens cap needs be more secure,strap really flimsy(used one from my old camera)and you need magnifying glass to read instruction manual.lucky for me it was so easy to use straight from the box.

"Great Camera"

The versatality of the camera is amazing. It has all the bells and whistles of a DSLR but in a compact form. I purchased my camera in Nov. 2009 and since have been having alot of fun. It is user friendly. The zoom setting, sunset, micro, super micro settings are impressive. I am most happiest with the camera's weight, less than half the weight of my 35mm gear( Olympus OM 1 + 3 lenses) I would suggest you use mAh rechargeable batteries. Regular batteries have a short life span. I would recommend this product to others

Do not like the zoom

The zoom of my previous olympus U 60 was similar to the dslr's this camera has a mechanism with a knob that is not easy to get the frame you want.

Great Camera

I purchased the camera before heading off to eight countries and twenty cities in Europe. I had other cameras with me, but this camera quickly became my favorite. Clarity was exceptional on the zooom. Pulled in a helicopter hauling pieces to a mountaintop in Interlaken from 25 miles away. Tried it with another "up-scale" camera with similar zoom and could not make out the numbers on the helicopter. Picture quality and overall color exceptional for such a fun camera to use.

[...] I was not that impressed by the camera itself. The SCN function seems not to work that properly. All ready to go setting have LOST of noise on the pictures! Panorama setting takes too low quality pics! Expected a better toy than received!

Great camera! Olympus rules!

Good photo quality with the 12 megapixels, easy to take hiking, with the image stabilization I can hand-hold it without worrying about the focus being off. The 26X lens power is awesome.

About Olympus SP-590UZ 12MP P&S Digcam w/26x WA Zoom Lens,Blk

The Olympus SP-590UZ Point and Shoot Digital Camera is the perfect point-and-shoot camera for sports, outdoor and travel photography - or for anyone who wants an All-in-One compact camera that takes stunning pictures.

The 26x wide-angle zoom lens (F2.8-F5.0 26-676mm equivalent) is the powerful, ultra-compact lens which gives you unmatched shooting versatility. The amazing 26x optical zoom on the SP-590UZ brings you closer to the action and the wide-angle lens captures more in your picture.

Forget about blurry shots with this 2-in-1 anti-blur solution. Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization compensates for camera shake to keep your shots steady while Digital Image Stabilization captures crisp, clear images in any situation. The advanced face detection tracks up to 16 faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposures for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.

With high-speed sequential shooting you can take several shots in rapid succession with just one click with the SP-590UZ. With a burst rate of up to 10 fps (3MP), you can practically freeze time to capture every moment of the action. As soon as the focus is locked, Pre-Capture automatically archives ten frames (3MP) before fully pressing the button to capture the perfect shot.
