 Olympus SP 590UZ Camera Review

Apart from its extraordinary zoom factor the SP-590UZ has a fairly typical specification for its class. It features a 12-megapixel 1/2.33-inch sensor, a 2.7-inch 230k monitor, an electronic viewfinder and a range of manual exposure options.


Like most super-zooms it is quite a large camera, measuring 110.1 x 89.7 x 91.0 mm, and also quite heavy, weighing approximately 535g including a memory card and four AA batteries. The body is made of matt black plastic, apart from the lens barrel which is aluminium, and the overall build quality is pretty good for the price, although there are a few creaky panels.
