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...
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... |

With speedy operation, a big zoom and a respectable set of features, the Olympus SP-500 does a good job of making it in the prosumer category of cameras. It isnt going to blow your socks off by any means, but the performance is solid and the average...

While the SP-500 is not a poor camera, it certainly does nothing to distinguish itself. As an ultra-zoom camera it definitely lacks image stabilization which limits the use of its otherwise good lens. Even though the Olympus SP-500 produces sharp ima...
