Digital Camera Review

Imaging 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.

Pocket-Lint reviews the Olympus E-510 DSLR and writes:

The E-510, its similar-looking bigger brother boasts a 10-megapixel resolution, Live MOS sensor, Olympus’ excellent Supersonic Wave Reduction anti dust system and Live View with a 7x and 10x magnification for accurate manual focus when in Live View mode. …The increase in size means the camera is very nice to use and reassuring to hold, plus, the 510’s extra real estate allows the camera sling to be mounted so that it does not get in the way as on the E-410. …

Okay, if you own a Canon or Nikon system you’re already locked into that are unlikely to swap due to the cost of switching all those lenses if nothing else, but if you’re trading up from compacts, across from film or simply need a compact yet superbly specified DSLR with anti shake, than the E-510 must be placed near the top of your list.

Pocket Lint reviews the Nikon Coolpix S510 and writes:

The Nikon Coolpix S510 updates the S500 and has the same basic feature set and handling characteristics (check the S500 test as well for specifics on some of those similar features) as that camera. However, the Face Priority AF and lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) buttons have been removed from the top of the camera leaving just the on/off, shutter buttons plus a LED indicator that lights up when you turn the thing on. …

The VR technology (borrowed from Nikon’s professional spec lenses) can be used across two modes: “On” (all the time) and “Response Priority” where shutter release takes priority even if the image is not fully stabilised. But because the button for accessing the VR modes has been stripped from the top plate (along with the Face Priority AF button) you have a less user friendly need to preset the VR modes in menus. Ditto the AF set up.  …

Brilliant build and pricing, big fat dollops of image quality and great features but with a few demerits in terms of user control, the Nikon Coolpix S510 is nevertheless well worth the money for anyone in the game for a well made high resolution compact digital camera.
