Exceptional camera
I bought this camera for my husband for underwater. The camera is top of the line. He loves it. The only problem I have now is that the underwater housing for this camera was been discontinued before I could buy one. Olympus should give some kind of date on how long their products will be available. I would have gone with another camera if I had known. Now I'm searching for the housing. Found some online but reviews are terrible for these online stores....

Rip Off
I bought this camera 11 months ago. From time to time, I've had to turn it off and re-power it to get rid of error messages.

DCRP Review: Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom
Digital Camera Resource Page

Digital Photography Review
- "The SP-550UZ is a significant step up from the previous models in the 'SP' range (including the current SP-510UZ), offering 7MP resolution, image stabilization (CCD-shift) and an astounding 28-500mm (equiv.) 18x optical zoom range."

Camera Test: Olympus SP-550UZ
Pop Photo
- "In many ways, the Olympus SP-550UZ represents both the best and the worst of digital camera marketing. On the one hand, it's is a solidly built EVF, with an astonishing 18X optical zoom (4.68-84.24mm f/2.8-4.5, or a 28-504mm equivalent in 35mm), effective sensor-shift image stabilization, a 7.1 Megapixel CCD, a RAW shooting mode, and lots of other impressive features."
