I purchased the sp-570 camera and I like it very much. Do not expect an SLR picture quality but for a compact camera the photos are excellent. The zoom x20 is great. It eats the batteries though. And the xd card is really slow when transferring the pictures to the computer. But other than that, it is a great camera with the excellent olympus photo quality.
I have to confess to being an Olympus fan. I still have an OM 1 SLR in the cupboard. It is early days yet but clearly the 570 is a major step up from my SP-510 (which had replaced my trusty Camedia C-5000) plus an amazing zoom. First we have a much better, clearer screen with a sharper image and no more purple stripes in bright reflected sunlight. The diopter and EV adjustment on the viewfinder are good touches - the only disappointment seems to its fine gridlines which aren't so important but I actually preferred the clarity of the viewfinder of the 510 but that is all. The major obvious improvements are in start-up, shutter delay in low light of course the more flexible lense and immediately noticeable superior quality pictures which are more easily attainable with less faff. Until now in some ways despite its small screen, I had been missing the good value package of the C-5000 with its optical viewfinder its only downside being having to delve into the Menu for nearly everything. Yes once hacked the 510 could produce some really excellent pics. I got some great 'unnoticed' close-ups and some amazing night shots but it took a lot of learning and work otherwise get it wrong and it was dire. My early Auto indoor shots had been dreadful. One reason why for happy snaps, I bought a slip in your pocket Canon Ixus 70 which does nearly as well, has FD and does it all with less hassle. It's a big step up with the 570. This a camera you really want to carry around - it is much easier to produce good shots without trying and is far more user-friendly plus the features you need most often have been brought out of the menu. I'm looking forward to being much more ambitious with it. Despite its bigger size, it has an excellent grip and only appears marginally heavier in a bag though on paper it is 100 gms heavier than the 510. I've seen criticism of the 'notchy' electronic zoom which mimics DSLRs. Well I quickly got used to using it and I find it a great deal more accurate than the lever type zooms of compact cameras. And here is a major advance. Perhaps some technophobes might fall over but Olympus have scrapped the CD Rom Manual. They supply instead, wait for it, yes a full compact printed manual with everything you need in, yes, readable print. With this new invention, no more switching on the PC, you can look things up instantly wherever you are. And what's more it's 100% in English , not 27 other languages. Why I bought the camera is simple. We all started digital life with XD cards, owning early digital Fujis when they were still properly made (my young son still has a 2MP one and gets great results despite the tiny screen) plus I'm used to the Olympus system. The equivalent camera in Fuji looked very plasticky, cheap and not very durable. Ok there are Panasonics out there but they do Hi-Fi's and TV's and have to borrow lenses from Leica. Olympus have always made cameras- plus by the very fact I had to bid numerous times to get a 570 at all demonstrated that this time Olympus had got it much closer to right. From what I can see this camera does more and produces better results than an entry-level DSLR without the bulky extras. It's early days so far but my only gripe is that being that bit bigger, it just won't fit my 510 cases so I've had to get new ones. Anybody you see advertising cases to fit 510 - 570 watch out. If you want to carry spare batteries, a Hana Trackpack DV36 is the one.Read full review
I was looking to purchase a New Digital Camera. After reading reviews about Olyumpus Cameras, I decided to buy an Olympus Camera. I looked at the SP-560UZ as a first choice, but soon realised that Olympus were launching a new spec. the SP-570UZ. I like many others who are going to invest a large amount of money in a product, I wanted the latest spec, so I purchased the SP-570UK and never look back. The camera does what is says on the box. I have used it for more that two months now, for various types of photography, and have produced extremely good qualtity shoots. The camera is highly specified, and is point and shoot if required, or semi-proffesional/proffesional for others. The only down point I can think about, is the design, or lack of it, in the use of filter attachments to the len. I have been an advocate of using UV filters for lens protection. Without the attachment tube (Bought as an accessory) this can not be achieved. Placing the attachment tube on the camera makes it bulky, and vignetting can occure at different focal lengths unless you think about it. Normally I screw on a UV filter and forget its there, with this camera that can not be achieved. Forget Blurred shoots, the stability control takes care of that, brilliant system. In all, this camera is the best value for money I have found, excellent lens quality, camera technology is brilliant.Read full review
The Olympus SP-570 UZ is a great camera with good (10MP) resolution, a fantastic 20x optical zoom, and a huge range of automatic functions to help in all situations. Better still, it has complete manual override facility so you can still use your own prefered settings whenever you wish. As you would expect, it features a built in flash but also has a hotshoe flash fitting so that other flashguns, studio flash, etc. can also be used. It is a relatively compact bridge camera but with sufficient mass - and suitable electronic/mechanical stabilisation - to minimise camera shake. My only gripe with the camera is the annoying way it removes the image from the viewfinder when the shutter is operated in multiple image mode at high resolution so that, if you are tracking a moving object, you are left to guess the path it will follow with a blank screen in front of you! Overall, a really great camera.Read full review
abbiamo deciso di acquistare la Olympus SP-570UZ perchè dopo aver provato la sp-550uz avevamo voglia di passare ad un modello che come caratteristiche techiniche fosse ancora più simile ad una reflex, senza la penalizzazione di dover portarsi appresso il peso e l'ingombro di più teleobbiettivi. ci ha invogliato all'acquisto lo zoom manuale (nella 550 non lo è) che permette una migliore regolazione (ed un risparmio in batterie). bene anche la novità della possibilità di scegliere la messa a fuoco manuale, per realizzare foto particolari. per ora l'unica pecca riscontrata è la lenta memorizzione delle foto scattate (sia per quanto riguarda gli scatti in successione, che per gli scatti singoli). i vari menu sono facilmente raggiungibili dai pulsanti esterni (nella 550 non lo erano). le regolazioni per impostate (es. interni, neve, paesaggio, dietro vetro,...) sono standard ma molto efficaci. si riesce ad ottenere un buon lavoro anche senza metter mano alle regolazioni di luce, esposizione, ... manuali (ai meno pratici a volte risultano un pò complicati). novità per la 570 rispetto alla 550 è anche la possibilità di effettuare la regolazione dello zoom durante i filmati. peccato che in questo caso l'audio debba essere disinserito (o funziona l'audio o funziona lo zoom durante le fasi di ripresa). sono 2 ottime macchine sia la 550 che la 570, le consigliamo entrambe, la 550 pesa un pò di meno ed è un pò più piccola. ps: consigliamo di utilizzare un lettore esterno di schedine per collegarsi al pc, è 10 volte più veloce nel trasferimento dei files ripetto alle fotocamere 550 - 570 (il costo del lettore varia tra 5 - 10 euro, non vale la pena di perder tempo)Read full review
