Bottom line A very capable camera apart from the image stabilisation omission. If you can, try before you buy and take a few handheld photos at top zoom. If they don't come out sharp, you'll need a camera with image stabilisation to compensate for shake...

The biggest thing about the Olympus SP-500 UltraZoom is the lens: its an impressive 10X model that is significantly longer than those on most point-and-shoot cameras. However, it has no type of image stabilisation, so this long zoom can be a mixed b...
Bottom line This well-priced model has a long zoom lens that will suit beginners and casual photographers who want to get close to the action. Shame it doesnt offer anti-shake, but the overall model is so good that you can do without. Richard Baguley...

I like the Olympus SP-500. It has a good feature set and feels good in the hand. Compared to other similar digital cameras it has a very reasonable price.
