Olympus SP-620UZ Review
Review posted 07/02/2012
For
those wanting a powerful and affordable digital camera, Olympus has
announced a sub-$200, ultra-zoom camera; the
SP-620UZ. If bold, crisp imagery is something you enjoy, this 620UZ's
16.0 megapixel 1/2.3" CCD and 21x optical zoom will help you be apart of
all the action, near or far, macro or landscape. And if the 25mm wide
angle lens isn't wide enough for your, use the camera's Panorama Mode to
create even wider shots, all of which are visible on the camera's large
3.0" LCD viewing screen.

Bottom Line |
| The SP-620UZ performs well for a sub-$200 point-and-shoot. You get a powerful lens with a 25mm wide angle for a reasonable price. If you can live without quick focus, fast performance, and a high-resolution LCD, you'll have fun going zoom zoom zoom with the SP-620UZ. Read more in our Full Conclusion. |
The SP-620UZ from Olympus
is built equally for still image capture as it is for 720p HD video.
Multi-Motion Movie and Dual Image Stabilization help you get clearer
stills and video. Olympus includes a series of Magic Art Filters and
what they call Beauty Make-up Mode, which apparently allows users to add
make-up to photo subjects' faces like eyeliner, eye shadow and rough,
as well as physically alter faces (lift cheek bones, etc.).
The Olympus SP-620UZ runs on four AA batteries and sports and SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot that is Eye-Fi compatible.
