Imaging Resource Review: Olympus SP-560

Olympus SP-560 Digital CameraImaging Resource reviews the Olympus SP-560 UltraZoom Digital Camera where they write:

The Olympus SP-560 UltraZoom digital camera features a 1/2.35 inch CCD imager with a resolution of eight megapixels, coupled with an Olympus-branded 18x optical zoom lens with an extremely wide-ranging choice of 35mm equivalent focal lengths from 27 to 486mm and f/2.8 to 4.5 maximum aperture. …

The SP-560 has a few tricks up its sleeve, too. Face detection is increasingly commonplace and we’re glad to see it available on a long zoom. It’s one of four autofocus options, among which are the Olympus iEPS automatic focus over the whole scene, Spot, and Area focusing. …

Long zooms used to be 10x or maybe 12x, but 2007 was the year that Olympus introduced the 18x zoom; and before the year goes out, Olympus has rolled out an improved version with more resolution, and speed enhancements galore. In addition to its 8.0 megapixel sensor, the Olympus SP-560 also sports new features like the Effects Preview and Shadow Adjustment Technology. More importantly, shutter lag is greatly reduced, making the Olympus SP-560 nearly irresistible.
