Model overview based on user reviews
The Olympus SP-550 UZ is a digital compact camera known for its reliability and good color rendition. It features an impressive 18x optical zoom and is capable of macro photography, making it versatile for various shooting conditions. Users appreciate its convenient size and weight, although some find the focusing system inconvenient and note the absence of a low battery indicator. While the camera performs well in bright light, it struggles with blurry images and slow operation in low light, often increasing ISO automatically. The video capabilities are limited, with a maximum of 14 seconds at 640x320 resolution. The camera uses xD memory cards, which some find restrictive. Despite these drawbacks, the camera's durability, even after multiple falls, and its ability to adapt to user needs make it a recommended choice for those willing to work around its limitations.
Pros
Cons
I have been communicating with this device for 3 years. In bright light - sun or flash works well. They have done a lot of good things. There is an underwater box for it! At first I was very upset - out of 100 shots, 20 are blurry, it works slowly, you can’t use the fully manual mode, it’s difficult to use with an underwater flash - it automatically increases the ISO in the dark. Then I adapted, found how to bypass the automatic settings. It conveys colors poorly, and the sound is even worse; you can’t shoot singing. Video is only 14 seconds with 640x320 on all types of memory cards except M+.  Elena: use Olympus SP-550 UZ more than year |
Reliability (fell many times, including on a concrete floor from a height of four meters - and in the end it still works with a glued case), good color rendition, convenient size and weight, macro photography. Inconvenient focusing (both auto and manual), lack of low battery indicator, return to the previous shooting mode after a three-minute pause, mediocre video, lens extending when turned on, using only xD cards, lack of an adapter. use Olympus SP-550 UZ more than year |
i advise everyone, and those who don't know how to handle a camera, that's why the photographer turns out to be bad and everything is wrong the camera is good, already 5 roar yogo, no problems)) the only thing is that the elastic band is stuck on the body. But everything is fine tanya: use Olympus SP-550 UZ more than year i recommend it should buy |
