  Olympus SP-800UZ

  Prasad Naik, Jul 26, 2010 1220 hrs IST

  High zoom point-and-shoot camera that offers good image quality

  30x optical zoom, fairly compact design despite the large lens, good image quality, HD video recording

  Poor layout of controls, no shortcut buttons, cramped navigation dial, no manual settings, standard 4:3 aspect ratio make images look small on the wide screen display

Performance

The start-up speed of the camera is rather slow. It takes two full seconds to show the image on the screen after starting the camera. The shot to shot time is acceptable though.

The image quality of the SP-800UZ is pretty good, even a notch better than the HS10 that we reviewed recently. Images were detailed and the colors were natural. The white balance indoors was inaccurate though and the camera would produce inaccurate colors under incandescent colors.
