  MY THOUGHTS ON THE OLYMPUS SP 550 UZ
Review created: 07/01/08(updated 21/04/08)

I bought this camera as an upgrade from my old olympus point and shoot because I wanted to try and take pictures of better quality and try out new things, such as motion pics and night shots etc. The SP 550 UZ has a wide variety of pre installed settings from portrait to landscapes, a total of about 23 all told. In addition to these settings there is also a fully manual setting for the more advanced photographer (of which I am not yet). The beauty is you are able to play with this camera and view your success or failure through the large screen and delete if its no good.
The on screen menu is easy to follow as you work your way through the instruction book.
I am no expert on cameras but just wanted to say how much I like this model, it is not too bulky the controls are too hand and from what pics I have taken so far gives good value for money.
As I get more into my new hobby I am confident this camera will suffice all my needs.recently took in on holiday check out some pics at www.deneoo1.com

  Olympus SP550 digital bridge camera
Review created: 06/12/07

I decided to purchase this camera having purchased an Olympus SP310 12 months earlier, which I found to be an excellent product. However, it had weaknesses owing mainly to a large number of functions squeezed into a very small footprint. 3x zoom was rather limited.
The SP550 is a vast upgrade, having an excellent electronic viewfinder which provides almost 100% field of view. It is classified as a bridge camera, being similar in design to an SLR but more compact and much larger but with most of the benefits. The lens is quite extraordinary, with a zoom range beyond anything available with an SLR, providing 10x zoom from 50mm to 504mm, and wide angle down to 28mm without changing the lens, and the size is quite compact. Total zoom is 18x!!!
Shutter and speed priority functions are easy to use, as is manual mode. The guide function is not just an electronic manual, but sets difficult situations automatically, which is a real benefit.
The flash is quite powerful. The software - Olympus Master 2 - is an improvement on the first edition, being much easier to use.
The panorama function is also excellent, but my supplier included a Fuji XD card which does not allow this function to be used - an Olympus XD card is necessary. The video function is limited but adequate for short clips - serious video is only achieved by way of a camcorder.
Design of the camera body is a vast improvement over the SP500 and SP510. The rubberized surfaces and the right hand support profile at the rear are excellent design features.
I think this product represents excellent value for money, and I highly recommend it.

I purchased this camera for a present for my husband, after seeing what fantastic photos it takes. My brother has one and it was recommended to him by his techy son. It really is a great camera, zooms in and out and captures great shots plus all the other fiddly bits , it is user friendly, and looks the job.

The Free iPhone Guide


To get yourself a free iPhone all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free iPhone
Sign up at the link below to get your free iPhone. We recommend this free iPhone site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

http://Gifts.real-incentives.com/2992 (copy and paste into browser)

You can choose other prizes like free consoles from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your iPhone! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free iPhone if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (rent two DVD's, keep them for about 2 days, send them back and then cancel the trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 2 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free iPhone!

Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free iPhone sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free PS3, Wii, and XBOX Elite without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free iPhone!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free iPhone, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free iPhone!

Thats all, just follow my guide and you will have your free iPhone in no time.

Thank you.
