The Bottom Line	Poor performance diminishes the Olympus SP-570 UZ's potential as an otherwise solid megazoom.	While the Nikon Coolpix P90 brings its performance up to speed with the rest of its class, it now falls behind in photo quality.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.	A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides an attractive option for megazoom shooters.	Aside from a debatably useful 26x zoom lens, there's little that's notable about the Olympus SP-590 UZ.
