6.3 out of 10 (Good)
“Olympus' SP-550UZ has great ergonomics, but disappointingly slow performance and soft, noisy images drag it down.”

Dave's Pick
“While it has enough to complain about, the Olympus SP-550 UZ merits a Dave's Pick for its excellent physical design and world beating zoom range.”

Above Average
“Ultimately however, after a lot of debate here, we decided that the SP-550UZ has just too many flaws where it matters (image quality and performance) for a $500 camera, and that (though a close call) it fell short of a Recommended rating.”

Steve's Digicams

“The SP-550's high-quality lens can't be matched either, offering a versatile focal length range that is equally at home in tight interiors and athletic playing fields. Combine that with its very good image quality in standard drive modes, and the SP-550 UZ represents a good value at its $499 MSRP.”
DCRP Review: Olympus SP-550 Ultra Zoom
By Jeff Keller from

“Though not without its share of flaws, the Olympus SP-550UZ is a very good (though not best-in-class) ultra zoom camera. It offers virtually every feature known to man, though some of them aren't implemented terribly well.”
