Olympus SP-590UZ
First, The new Olympus excels in both areas of excellence and irritates the technical possibilities to the full. What was impressive on the sheet reads, in its practical application, however, comes quickly to systemic limitations.
12 million pixels that are very sensitive to higher ISO values to respond, has everyone now. The Olympus SP-590UZ is no exception. So you should not leave the ISO setting fall carelessly from the automatic transmission. The Olympus-camera noise reduction with the irons, although some errors so smooth, but not until I had paid attention to in the recordings as well as the ISO value at time / aperture, the camera has shown what it really can. In the lower ISO range makes excellent images.
Similarly, one should carefully use the zoom. For he who exploits the world record until it stops zooming, is in the extreme wide angle down the typical barrel distortion. And who with impressive 676mm heranzommt to the object, for all his enthusiasm for this “telescope, not overlooked,” that the edges of the image be significantly darker than the center. Both extremes should be viewed with caution. My experience after a few hundred photos: Really good pictures to do with the zoom champion if one does not “too much? On the gas”? and the camera is not always in stationary.
In our family competes at the time, the Olympus SP-590UZ with the Nikon Coolpix P90. The dispute, which is the better camera, is not yet finally decided. Both play in the same league.
For the Olympus says the zoom range, the speed, the better the auto focus and white balance. The Nikon scores through the larger (and folding!) Display and by the newer and faster memory system. My impression is also that the Nikon 24x zoom within the extreme with their not so sensitive (reacts).
Who else is faced with the decision to buy should definitely also take time, the new Nikon in the hand. As the decision also turns out – in both cases you can get for this price is a technically advanced and powerful bridge camera.
