Cons: For really high zoom, you'll need a very steady hand, or a tripod. I don't think this is really a con, but it's something to keep in mind. Other Thoughts: This is a replacement for my Olympus C765. I was initially worried about having a camera that used AA batteries instead of an included rechargeable lithium ion battery, but I was very impressed with the battery life. from Newegg.com The SP 590 UZ Olympus camera is amazing. I took some images from atop Pikes Peak and at 26x I could see cars and trucks on the streets of Colorado Springs below in the photograph.....the camera was hand held. from Amazon.com I bought this camera after totally exhausting my Olympus C-750 UZ for eight years. I was not disappointed and found the SP-590UZ well worth the wait. from Amazon.com Another takes good pictures but has a terrible battery life. Still some have old school image stabilization. Then I came across the Olympus SP-590UZ at the Costco website. There weren't many reviews to be fond but it seems that the Cameras in this family of Olympus Megazooms have a good set of feature without any major trade offs. from Amazon.com -Capability to go full manual ; reasonably good manual focus to infinity. -Good construction & solid build (droped it from about a 12" and no damage was done) -Olympus Master 2 is bundled with the camera. Nice basic image editor. from Amazon.com Olympus SP-590 UZ 12 Megapixel Digital Camera with 26x Wide Angle Ultra Zoom + (8) AA Batteries + Case + Cameta Bonus Accessory KitFantastic Camera with loads of features! Zoom works very well for taking close up photos of small subjects. from Amazon.com Olympus SP-590UZ 12MP Digital Camera with 26X Wide Angle Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD from Amazon.com This camera has provided me great pleasure and excelled for the purpose I purchased it - nature documentation. It is a continuing wonder how Olympus was able to get a lens group to go from a 35mm camera equivalent of 26mm to 676mm with an excellent macro capability. It has provided tac sharp images of plants, dragon flies, damsel flies and butterflies, which were subjects I wanted to use the camera for. from Amazon.com the shutter button just sproinged off the other day giving me the opportunity to upgrade!) and I've taken comparison views of the max of each of these cameras' zooms and the image is identical. That was a tremendous surprise to me. I chose the Olympus to take me to further distances and am tremendously disappointed that it doesn't. I'm thinking I am going to return the camera. from Amazon.com I bought this after I had ruined SP-500UZ, an older 10X model that fits in my palm. A couple od drops of orange juice around shutter totaled it. SP-590 is about a cm wider, 1.5 cm taller, and 2 cm deeper than SP-500. It is amazing theat Olympus made it zoom 26X optically with this size. from Amazon.com
