Olympus SP-600UZ Digital Camera ReviewAfter waiting in line for over 1 hour and coming so close to winning a 500$ gift card on boxing day, I purchased this camera. The design of this camera is very professional, it looks like a mini SLR camera, this can be good and bad, it is good because it looks like it costs over 300$-so if you like to show off your gadgets this would be great, however it is bad because it will not fit in your pocket or small purse. You would need to get a case for it if you want to carry it around. It takes fantastic pictures as long as there is good lighting, it does OK in low light areas but a downfall of it would be that the flash is not automatic, you would have to remember to put it up. I love how the camera focuses just like an SLR camera; it focuses on the object or person you are taking a picture of and slightly blurs the background which gives you professional looking photos. The 720p HD video is absolutely stunning, I bought this camera for my YouTube videos hoping to make the quality a lot better, this camera did exactly that- people have left me comments complimenting the better quality. Another downfall is that when in video with sound, you cannot zoom in or out. You might say not a big deal but for me it was along with that, the microphone quality is not to my standards this wouldn’t be a problem if it had an audio input port for an external microphone but it does not. Last thing to say is this camera takes 4 AA batteries, it is NOT a rechargeable camera, you will have to keep supplying it with AA batteries, it is efficient however. In the past 4 days i have taken a lot of HD video and pictures and the batteries are still going. What I recommend is rechargeable AA batteries with a compact wall charger. Last thing I have to say is DO NOT cheap out on the memory card. I was about to buy a normal cheap 8GB SD card but at the cash I chose a much more expensive Platinum II HIGH SPEED memory card and it made my life a lot better. A normal SD card does not have a fast read/write what this means is that when your take pictures or video it will take a while(~30 seconds~) to process, a HIGH SPEED SDHC card has a way faster read/write speed making the processing instant-even for long 10 minute HD videos!
