Olympus SP-510 Ultra Zoom 7.1MP Digital Camera with Digital Image Stabilized 10x Optical Zoom

• We had an Olympus C2100 for years, and it failed after thousands and thousands of excellent quality photos. So, we decided that another Olympus would be in order. My wife and I are not satisfied with the photo quality of this camera, in relation to the old camera. We contacted Olympus to find out what the difference was, and if there was any other camera that would satisfy our desire for the same \"quality\" of image as the old C2100.They were no help at all. We bought this one because it has almost the same specifications as the old camera, but the image quality and the auto features are not a good. The movie features are excellent compared to the old camera. We were spoiled by the characteristics of the old camera.I am finding that some of the tiny Canon cameras have just as good of image quality as this camera. I guess the price vs quality is only to be found in cameras that weigh a ton. If anybody knows of a smaller camera that has excellent image quality, and I mean excellent, let me know, because we are still looking. My wife called the old C2100 her \"magic camera\" because no matter how you took the photos they came out amazing. She has shot photos out of the window of our car at 70MPH and they were clear on the C2100, no so on this 510. The dynamic range in the old camera was better, better highlight detail, and better shadow detail. It somehow took the gamma of the image and processed it so much better.
• This camera has many good features. Most of what I was loking for, and at a reasonable price. It is great for taking still pictures. The problem is that the video/movie files are recorded in the \".mov\" format, unlike my old Canon Power Shot which recorded in the \".AVI\" format. The .mov format is not compatible with Windows Media Player, Windows Movie Maker, or my NERO software. The video clips are of great quality when viewed on TV or a PC but designed to work with Quick Time on a PC (an Apple product). This severely limits my capabilities to edit and manipulate these files (e.g. write to DVD, etc.). Even the Olympus Master, Master 2, and Image Mixer software is limited in what you can do with these video files. In checking with Olympus support they confirmed that I was pretty much \"up the creek\" where this product was concerned and that the newer models now record in the \".AVI\" format, which seems to be more popular. Sadly, it was past the latest allowable return date when I realized the problem. So you might say that my camera was outdated even before I opened the box.
• This camera is a solid purchase as an item for consumers that fall between amateur and professional. It has a few advanced features to adjust ISO control, indoor/outdoor light settings, use flash, and choose between viewfinder or LCD focus-framing control options. The zoom is good, even in micro mode. The Quicktime-TM video option mode works well if you set the zoom first (the zoom remains fixed in a constant position once video shoot begins). This camera also offers stand-alone basic editing options to fix \"red-eye,\" transform color images to black & white, and crop images in the field. It has two Macro modes that adequately capture sharp images at 2.9 or 1.5-inches respectively, and it conveniently uses standard AA batteries.The Olympus automatic website updates, software, and associated firmware patches have not been the best (just my opinion). The camera is best detached and in the field, and only \"plugged-in\" to download movies & photographs directly to controlled areas/sites or files.
• I bought this camera after doing extensive research but I am still not sure it is what I really wanted!! I wanted a heavier camera due to the fact I am disabled, and tend to shake some, so I was hoping the extra weight would help. It does some which is good, but it is a bit more difficult to figure out then I was hoping. I am sure if I would sit down and read the book cover to cover, I would be better off, but never seem to find the time to do that!! It takes great pics, but the zoom can be a problem! The more you zoom in the blurrier the pics seem to get, and if it isn\'t mounted on a tri-pod, then forget it!! Again, maybe the book would offer suggestions, but I would have been better off with a less complicated, point and shoot one I think. But, it is a great camera non the less, and I am sure you will be pleased with it! It does have some GREAT options!! I LOVE the big viewing screen!! And it\'s comfortable to hold!! Hope this helps! Thanks.
• I have had the Olympus SP-510 UZ for about a year and I totally hate the camera. This is my third Olympus digital camera. My previous camera was a C-5050 which I loved, but it got a scratch on the lens so I got the SP-510.With the SP-510 you have to avoid any of the auto or program settings, because the camera has a tendency to use the higher ASA ratings to solve low light problems. When it uses ASA ratings over 100 the images look totally crappy with so much jpg noise that you will just end up deleting all of them. So you have to use aperture/shutter or manual to have a chance at a decent picture, unless you are shooting in full sunlight.The exposure is very often off, so be sure to check the images right away and bracket or reshoot the bad ones.The white balance seems unreliable, so I end up shooting RAW most of the time so I can more easily correct when the color is totally off.In short you have to be diligent to get decent pictures. If you are the least bit lazy, the camera will punish you with bad pictures.There are still two things I like about the camera. One is the supermacro setting that lets you shoot very close bug and flower pictures. Second, the camera is powered by AA batteries, so you never are without power out in the boonies.
