The Olympus SP-560UZ, which replaces the SP-550, has a “phenomenal” zoom range, as well as a large range of features, a new review has stated.

It also has a vast range of features which many users may never even discover, let alone use, Digital Photography Review has claimed.

But the new ultrazoom model from the manufacturer, which has seen a number of new upgrades over the older version, does offer a range of facilities not found on its competitors.

The ergonomics of the model, as well as the level of detail attainable in the images, are noted as the some of the positive points of the model.

Features such as image stabilisation and a shadow adjust features can help in the production of portraits, the review states.

Also, the flash is noted for its simplicity and ease of use.

But the limited battery life and the fact that the camera has more features than is strictly necessary are seen as weaker points of the model.

The company claims the camera is capable of shooting up to 15 frames per second.
