Product Description
Far and wide, the world's most powerful ultra zoom. Capture the moment, and capture the action, with the world's most powerful ultra zoom - the 7.1 megapixel SP-550 UZ. Its new 18x wide-angle super-telephoto zoom lens gets you closer to your subject than any other compact digital camera on the market. Dual Image Stabilization eliminates blur. And with high-speed sequential shooting and new Pre-Capture technology, you'll capture anything that moves. Even shoot in low light without a flash, thanks to Bright Capture Technology, and it's easy to preview, shoot and share with the large 2.5" high-resolution LCD.

Horrible Customer Service December 22, 2008
The Camera has broken 2 times already and customer support is horrible. I have already paid for this camera in full 2 times.I sent it in to Olympus and they offered to fix it at a reduced rate of 110 dollars plus shipping. The camera never was fixed correctly and I tried to email them several times to no avail. I finally got a hold of them by phone and they said they would send shipping info and it never came. After several calls the info finally came and I was able to ship it in.

After 15 days I still never heard back from Olympus so I called them again and they told me it would cost another 180 dollars to fix it. They stated that the warranty was expired and I should have tried harder to get a hold of them. They refused to fix the problem and won't tell me what is wrong with the camera. Again they offered the reduce the rate but I do not want to put any more money into this camera, I already have paid over 600 dollars for this camera.

Olympus customer service is horrible and they are not willing to work with the customer.

Olympus Camera December 22, 2008
I found this camera to be what I expected it to be. The seller provided it on time and as promised.

Despite a FedEx messup, when I contacted the seller they responded quickly, sought alternatives to get the delivery to me and followed up in a very professional way.

I just used the camera yesterday for the first time and found it met my expectations in choosing it.

I would recommend both Amazon and the seller again to anyone. We have recently made other purchases through Amazon.

Nice camera November 24, 2008
I bought this as a gift for my wife. In exchange I got her older camera. Bottom line - if you want to be treated well by your lady, get this camera.

Great camera September 30, 2008
I have really enjoyed this camera. It seems to offer a few things that I can't seem to understand how to access. It's relatively easy to use in the automatic mode. It takes good pictures, even from far away. It offers several different picture modes. I used the glass mode and took pictures of an aquarium. The pics were so clear it looked like I was in the water with the fish!

Battery Hog August 24, 2008
This model is my third Olympus. My old ones have superior battery life but not this one. It's batteries need a recharge after 35 images, max, although I don't use the large viewer and turn off the anti-shake. Then I have to charge them 2 or 3 times to get them to work. I was using Sony and Energizer 2500Mah with poor results, so The company accepted it back as flawed. The replacement is the same. I then ordered the Olympus charger and batteries recommended for this camera, and they are no better. What's funny is, my daughters Canon Supershot (same Mpix, anti-shake, large videos) worked fine on my "spent" batteries.

A lot of "noise" is evident in images taken in low light. The high ISO which is supposed to help in low light, actually makes it worse.

All my Olympus cameras are well made and easy to use, though the internal battery died in one after 3 years, so I have to redo my settings every time I change the battery. There are better cameras out there. I wish I'd gotten something else.
