'The Olympus SP-590UZ's noise levels were average for the megazoom models we tested.'
'flimsy lens cap'
'While its continuous shooting rate of 1.2 frames per second sits close to the bottom of its class, frame rate is almost immaterial with an EVF camera since your real constraint for burst usability is the blackout interval of the viewfinder, which is almost universally bad.'
'The SP-610UZ packsfun features and superb image quality in a user-friendly camera,providing further proof that Olympus lets you capture it all. '
'user-friendly camera'
'On the plus side, it is quite comfortable to hold courtesy of a well-sculpted and relatively big right-hand grip, which also houses the four AA batteries that power the camera. '
'The 3in LCD screen is easy to see in all lighting conditions.'
'image stabilization, a decent movie mode, long battery'
'digital image stabilization and an amazing sensitivity range of 50 to 4000 ISO'
'lack of sharp focus.'
'manually enabled popup flash is fairly weak - maximum flash range (in auto ISO mode) is just short of 15 feet; not very impressive for a camera with a 10X zoom.'
