"A solid camera and good value" on by Lucky2000
Pros: Qaulity pictures, right size, AA batteries
Cons: Lack of stablization feature, manual flash pop-up
Summary: I buy Olympus because its picture quality, especially for the showing of details and the sophistication that most of other similar cameras do not provide. SP-500 UZ lives up to that expectation. It seems that batteries can last longer than my old C-3000. I took some shots with a tripod in a gym with the “indoor scene”. The pictures came out surprisingly well. The long zoom, when fully extended, may present an issue when shooting indoors without a tripod.
I don't think this a dummy point and shoot camera. But if you like taking pictures and can spend some time leaning its features, SP-500 UZ is best you can get at this price range.
