Best Digital Cameras - USB 2.0 Interface Type, Atleast 500 images, 4 x AA Batteries Included Accessories

'Shutter-lag is a bit disappointing at about 0.1 second when pre-focused and 0.5 seconds including focusing time.'

'Image quality not up to par with competition; Weak flash; Poor HD video results; Excessive noise above ISO 400 makes the higher options almost useless; Tiny EVF eye piece; LCD is reflective; Sporadic white balance results when using Auto setting; Lack of Aperture value control in the specified A position on the mode dial makes it difficult to control DOF (either wide open or closed down, nothing in between). '

'As with most compact digital cameras, higher ISOs tend to suffer from noise and image detail loss.'

'When powered down, the Olympus SP-550UZ is a squat, bulky looking camera, with an appearance very similar to competing Canon and Sony models.'

'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.'

'Low light focusing performance was poor'

'regardless of whether the Z10 was badly bullied as a prototype, there's no excuse for a grown-up camera carrying a design joke this far.'

'Low light focusing performance was poor -- guess that Rapid AF sensor isn't so hot for those conditions.'
