Great point and shoot, with a couple of reservations![]()
I’m really enjoying using this 10MP camera. I largely do photos of kid-related events, with occasional more professional uses. My main complaint is that two of the best features are non-compatible: if you want the image stabilizer to work, you have to turn the sound recording off of video. This sounds fine, except when are you ever going to remember to turn the sound back ON when something is happening and you want to take a spur-of-the-moment video? Of course, you don’t remember, so you get a silent film. So if you’re me, you keep the image stabilizer off all the time, and thus that feature becomes irrelevant. It’s not a huge thing, but a point worth considering if you’re using the camera for ease of use and multiple functions. Otherwise I’ve been very happy with it.
Picture perfect snapsots![]()
Very good camera digital optical zoom for amateur snapshots. Excellent zoom — great for graduations; anticipate good for concerts. Takes more time than I have to learn the manual and more complicated settings. Easy to upload pics to computer. Have not tried in concert settings to see whether too noisy/distracting as was my fujifilm finepix $500 camera predecessor.
This our fourth digital camera optical zoom![]()
This is our fourth digital camera over the last 10 years or so. It is by far the best camera, and the best value of any of the previous units. I was fully impressed with our Nikon, and still satisfied with the quality of the photos that it produces. Unfortunately, the main problem with the Nikon lies with me, not the camera, and will get worse with time. It’s the dreaded “shakes”.
Most of the new cameras on the market have one method or another to deal with the “shakes” by one of four methods. A few cameras compensate by matching the camera motion with the image chip, others by compensating with a lens element, and most of the rest by increasing the ISO setting or by increasing the shutter speed (known as digital stabilization). The Olympus SP-565 can stabilize with three of the four methods (no lens compensation), yet retains fully automatic functions for other aspects.
Look, this camera megapixels has way too many features to detail here. This is a relatively compact camera that packs an incredible number of options. If you want to point and shoot, leave it on “Auto”. If you want to control the image, there is an amazing array of possiblities. It even has a “My Camera” feature that lets you set up the camera the way you want to (actually four different configurations), and stores it for quick selection.
