Olympus Launches First 18x Zoom Digicam

The new Olympus SP-550 UZ Ultra Zoom offers the ultimate in power and versatility with a compact, best-in-class 18x optical zoom lens (28-504mm), which gives users the ability to shoot telephoto, wide-angle and macro (as close as 1cm) all in one.

• Dual Image Stabilization combines the benefits of Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization to ensure blur-free images.
• High-Speed Sequential Shooting records multiple images in rapid succession (up to 15 frames per second).
• Pre-Capture compensates for slow reaction times by capturing images (five frames) even before the shutter button is fully pressed to ensure you catch the perfect shot.
