Too big - Too cheap feeling

Strengths: 26x zoom captures everything, built in features, user interface

DCRP Review: 2009 Super Zoom Shootout

The Olympus SP-590 Ultra Zoom has good (but not spectacular) image quality, a full set of manual controls, plenty of point-and-shoot features, and solid design and build quality. Despite all that, it's not quite as good as the best-in-class Super Zooms, but it's well worth considering if you're in the market. <p> <p>Read our Super Zoom Shootout to see how this camera and three others compare!
