Camera is well designed , compact , light weigh. Avoid bulky , Olympus using special designed battery, I prefer AA type battery is available almost everywhere to obtain . Memory card is not popular type , Nikon Coolpix 100 and Fuji Finepix S use Scandisk brand and the cost is less and plenty in market.

Great Camera!!! Image stabilization is very impressive. The camera has a lot of features for the money and has super print quality. I bought the Olympus auxiliary lenses for it and was even more amazed. I had tried the after market wide and tele lenses for it but they do not even come close to the OEM auxiliary lenses so don't be fooled. Buy the OEM lenses. The camera feels good in my hands while not being heavy and cumbersome. The zoom range is great!!! I get sharp pictures even zoomed all the way out! All the buttons are easy to manipulate and easily figured out. I can even manually focus this camera when I'm trying to take pictures of fireworks and other things in dark settings where any autofocus would struggle. VERY USEFUL FEATURE. The view screen/monitor is clear and bright even in the sun where other screens disappear in the bright light. This is my 7th Olympus point and shoot camera and probably as close to a DSLR as a person can get. Each model has unique features so I've kept them all so far. I'll be stepping up the the DSLR Olympus soon. The quality of the Olympus images is beyond amazing. My Sony/Canon/Nikon DSLR friends are all jealous of my pics that I get with my little Olympus Point and Shoot cameras. I've converted a few to Olympus so far and I'm working on the rest. The ones that didn't believe me wish they had after they bought their kodaks and sonys. I also matched this up with the Olympus P-10 photo printer and I get better pictures than any photo lab can print even with conventional 35mm film and paper. I use to work in a pro lab for 14 years and this is the best product combination that has come out since digital imaging started. The cost per print is comparable materially but I don't have to go anywhere to print my pics. I can print in the convenience of my own home on my own time. GO OLYMPUS!!!Read full review
The only complaint I have with this camera is the lcd/evf screens making focusing difficult in bright sunlight. Relying on the auto-focus can sometimes result in out of focus shots, especially when trying to capture macro imaging. Overall this is a good "Swiss knife" camera capable of giving the user a long reach and movie abilities in a compact size that is easy to carry all day.

I love this camera. I've had one for years and recently got this one for my daughter. The optics are superb! I've been buying Olympus for years for just this reason. I even traded in my old Nikon SLR (film) for this camera. The camera is light and compact with a 10x optical zoom. I really like the view finder option for use when it's really sunny out. The best feature, any why my daughter wanted this camera, is the shoot and select option. This is perfect for pictures of our grandkids or any action where the subject won't stay still. Just hold the shutter button down to take a stream of pictures; you can't help but get a few perfect shots and expressions in the group. My son recently bought and expensive Canon digital SLR and frankly, this Olympus takes much better pictures.
I decided to buy this one after much research. I'm not a pro at picture taking, just a mom with lots of memories. All of the descriptions about the camera are correct. I love it! The zoom is great and more. Still learning other features, and can't wait. It is as light as a disposeable camera. I like both the view finder and screen,which is pretty large. I'm a stickler for price, and this was a great buy. I would have paid at least $200.00 for this camera, but got it at a great deal.I would suggest to all the people who don't like standing on the stage to get the perfect shot to buy this camera. GOD BLESS!
The Olympus SP-510uz is an excellent point and shoot camera. Olympus has packed it full of features that work. It is easy to hold and shoot with little shutter lag. The 10X zoom makes it stand out from other point and shoot that are even current models. I bought it for my wife and she prefers it to another brand point and shoot with more pixels and smaller, says it is easier to hold. All in all the colors are true and the shots are sharp. Even though it is not a current year model and is no longer made I recommend highly for point and shoot users wanting to step up a notch and gain a strong zoom, and more control.
I Think it does everything that you could want in a camera. Different shooting modes & Movies with sound. Great pictures too. Light weight and easy to use. Nothing I don't like about it. Other than I'm left handed and they don't make much of anything for left handed people.
I'm not sure I'm qualified to review this camera because all I did was look over the book and start using it. I haven't begun to use the many features it has. I do use the zoom and macro features and am thrilled with the results of each. I have a more expensive camera, more everything but the macro is not as good as this camera. I do a lot of close-ups ... ebay, flowers, bugs and this is what I needed ! I can't tell the difference between 7.1 mp and 12 mp in the pictures I use and I got everything I wanted and MORE with this camera !
this is a great camera, very easy to use. It takes great photos and the zoom is an added bonus. It is simple enough to use for the beginner, but has enough features to keep more serious photographers. This is the best digital camera I have ever owned.
As we all know, olympus is well known for its well featured, superzoom cameras. Now with this camera olympus provides us with a camera with 10x optical zoom and with 7.1 megapixels in a very good price. Grab the chance to take a Olympus SP-510 camera!!! This camera has a great body design and high quality!! Enjoy it!!
