What punters are saying:
“The fully-featured SP-570 UZ gives users unprecedented zoom power and a fill of extras that add up to a rewarding all-round photo experience.”-DPnow
“The 10-megapixel sensor and full manual control options make sense on this high-end digicam, as does the hot shoe for a flash. Not all the niceties have been sacrificed, though — face detection is in there too, for when you hand the camera over to a “less-enthusiastic” shooter.”- Engadget
Our comment:
The SP-570 may not look totally different from its predecessor, the SP-560, but in terms of power and capability, this two camera is incomparable. The SP-570’s 10x optical zoom is definitely one reason why photo enthusiast who find this digital camera appealing. It’s definitely the next best thing to an entry-level DSLR.

Obviously you are just not even bloging but purely blablabalbering. Telling nonsense and repriting unsolited gossips and pure lies. How you can tell about “stabilization”, “precision” “superior image quality” etc. when you don’t even have an idea of what the camera itself looks like. See the picture that you publish with your propaganda like reprint of product specification. This is an Olympus 560 UZ model and not Olympus 570 UZ one!! So…
