Test shots of SP-550UZ

[Dennis]

This is not a review but just some trigger happy test shots of the 550 with 100% cropping.
For a 18x zoom I consider it to very good and on top of that the stabilization really works.

Find the color are very warm and not vibrant. So far not as I expected for such a good specs.. What you all think? Anyone has more pics to show..?

[Dennis]

hehe just casual shots lah. P&S of this kind of caliber no need to do test one.
Just use and be happy.

liew... another new toy? need to sell ur 45P to finance ur next purchase or not?

[Dennis]

Huh 45P !!. This lens no good lah, no autofocus, so small like lens cap. Mount already like no lens like that. I think you better give up hope, get the 10-17.

Many thanks for sharing the test shots with the 550. Looks like a pretty capable prosumer camera. How does it handle? Is it ergonomic for you?

[Dennis]

Construction wise I should say pretty well made and solid.
Ergonomic wise also very comfortable even after long usage.
The only thing I have problem with is the cap, comes off too easily and it is too near the front element so much so that it will touch the front element if you happen to press just a little harder. Waiting for the adaptor so that I can permanently fix a filter and a proper lens cap. The other being the slow shot to shot and focussing.
Like I say for a 18x zoom with wide angle capability at that kind of price point there is nothing much to complaint about.
