Review of Olympus SP-510 UZ by Nancy58

Advantages: Easy to use, SLR syle
Disadvantages: Slow focus in low light

I purchased the 510 UZ to replace my 750 UZ after it was dropped. The 510UZ is easy to use and produces good quality pictures. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an Ultra Zoom camera. The 510 replaced to 750, one change they made was in the lens. Unfortunately this was not a good choice. Focus ability and low level light quality decreased with this smaller lens. However without the comparison I would not know, so still a good lens. ...
