The only real thing this camera has going for it is it's powerful zoom lens, but that is at the expense of other features that I think are more necessary if you are serious about your photography. Aperture settings are the biggest draw back, only going from f2.8 to f.8, on a really bright day it can be hard to get any kind of image taken as too much light is getting in. Changing the settings can be time consuming as it is all done via the screen, especially difficult for manual focus! And as for batteries, invest is some really good rechargeables (at least two sets) and a good fast charger as this camera eats batteries for a pass time! With hindsight I would not have bought this camera, if you are not that serious about your photography, get a good quality compact digital which at least you can fit in your pocket or handbag, if you are serious and are happy with a larger camera, look for something that has a bigger range of aperture settings and maybe consider paying a bit more and getting an SLR.

The camera Olympus SP-590 UZ i have found to be very, very good i can't find any part of the camera that isn't a joy to use,i have been an Olympus user for the past twenty years and have never had any reason not to enjoy using them. The responce from Purely Gadgets was excellent.

Once I retired 10 years ago I got fed up with schlepping a heavy bag with camera, lenses, flash, etcetera, etcetera. I then went to viideography but soon got fed up with that. But now with my Olympus SP 90UZ I've got everything in one camera. At the moment it's a steep learning curve, but I'm getting back to my old love and enjoyment.

This is the best camera that you can buy as an 'all rounder', with its 26X optical zoom you can take perfect pictures....from miles away.
With an 8meg card in you can take thousands of pictures in high res:, or up to an hour of video that will match any video camera on the market.
marks out of ten.........at least a twelve.!!!!

I wanted to get a better camera than the pocket size cameras i have had in the past, the 26xzoom lens, was what drew my attention to the olympus sp590uz,plus the 12mp,so far it has impressed me,the quality of the photos i have taken,and put on my computer, i cannot believe i took them,also the price i paid for the camera, from AMAZON, is outstanding value,the sp590uz has given me confidence to try shots i would not have concidered in the past,
