That 12 Mill. Pixels are very sensitive to higher ISO values, has now spread. The Olympus SP-590UZ is no exception. Therefore, the ISO setting should not be too careless removal from the automatic to be. Although the Olympus ironed out with the in-camera noise reduction so many mistakes smooth, but not until I at ISO value as on speed / aperture have just carefully at the photographs taken, the camera showed what they really can. The lower ISO range makes excellent pictures.
Similarly, you should carefully use the zoom. Who namely the world record-breaking exploits zoom range up to the stop, situated in the extreme wide-angle fixed the typical barrel-shaped distortion. And if you heranzommt with impressive 676mm to the object, can for all his enthusiasm for this "telescope" not overlook the fact that the edges of the image to be significantly darker than the center. Both extremes of the adjustment should be treated with caution. My experience after a few hundred photos: Really good pictures you do with the Zoom-World Champion, if you '' are too much gas "'and not the camera constantly"' speed range moves in the extreme ". '
In our family, competes for the Olympus SP-590UZ time with the Nikon Coolpix P90. The dispute, which is the better camera is not yet decided. Both play in the same league.
For the Olympus says the zoom range, the speed of autofocus and better white balance. The Nikon scores with the larger (and fold!) Display and by the more modern and faster memory card system. My impression is that the Nikon is not as sensitive to its 24x zoom in an extreme range (see above) responds.
Those who still faces the purchase decision, should definitely take, here are the new Nikon in hand. As the decision also fails - in both cases you get for this price is a technically high-quality and high-performance bridge camera.
