4 out of 5 stars   Adequate, but not an improvement
By Appraiser on September 06, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Olympus SP-800UZ 14 Megapixel 30x Zoom Digital Camera (OMSP800UZ)
Pros: Fast/accurate auto-focus, Good Image Quality, Easy To Use
Cons: Not as good as the SP-590
Other Comments: Olympus is the only brand of camera that survives our business. The old camera SP-590UZ the shutter stopped working. This is the replacement. Not as easy to use as the old one. More likely to accidentally change it to movie mode. Picture quality is the same. I would recommend Olympus to another appraiser, but not necessarily this camera. The company has a lot of good products.

4 out of 5 stars   Great camera for the money
By Wendy on December 09, 2010
Review submitted for Olympus SP-800UZ 14 Megapixel 30x Zoom Digital Camera (OMSP800UZ)
Pros: Large Clear LCD, Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Nice Body Color, Good in Low Light, Great Zoom, Good Image Stabilization
Cons: No Viewfinder, Weight
Other Comments: I have only had this camera for a few days, but so far I really like it. I have taken a few pictures, and it was easy to take a great photo. It also worked very well at nighttime. I wish it had a viewfinder, but I can live without it. The only bad thing so far is that it weighs a little more than I would like, but it probably has to do with the zoom lens(and the zoom is great).

4 out of 5 stars   Nice Camera
By Mel on December 02, 2010
Review submitted for Olympus SP-800UZ 14 Megapixel 30x Zoom Digital Camera (OMSP800UZ)
Pros: Good Image Quality, Nice Body Color, Large Clear LCD, Easy To Use, Small / Compact, Great Zoom
Cons: Poor Image Stabilization
Other Comments: I researched several cameras before settling on this one. I bought it for family pictures and vacationing. I am buying it for the second time as I misplaced it on a family trip a couple months ago. The image quality and zoom was better than I expected. The bateery life made it all day at the zoo zooming in on animals and at the children's museum in low light using the flash. It was alittle difficult to focus when I first started with it, but improved as I got use to it.

5 out of 5 stars   This camera has potential
By GracieMay on September 08, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Olympus SP-800UZ 14 Megapixel 30x Zoom Digital Camera (OMSP800UZ)
Pros: Good Battery Life, Small / Compact, Great Resolution, Fast Shutter Speed, Easy to Use, Great Zoom, Good in Low Light, Large Clear LCD
Cons:
Other Comments: Right out of the box I took this camera to a SugarLand concert. I didn't have much time beforehand to figure out how to use it. Even with that it took really good pictures except when I had it at the closest zoom - then a lot of the pictures were not in focus because I couldn't hold the camera still enough and because the subjects were always moving. I am not blaming the camera for this I blame my inexperience. Having no viewfinder was not an issue. My previous digital camera did have a viewfinder and I doubt that I used it ever.
