Wer eine Kamera sucht, mit der er für jede Motiv-Herausforderung gut gewappnet ist und die dabei noch vergleichsweise leicht und kompakt daherkommt, trifft mit der Olympus SP-590UZ eine gute Wahl. Eine Spiegelreflexkamera mit einer entsprechenden Objektiv-Kombination wäre jedenfalls um ein Vielfaches teurer.

Dass die Bildqualität einer 26-fach-Zoomkamera einige Schwachstellen aufweist ist nicht weiter verwunderlich.

Mit der SP-590 UZ bringt Olympus sein neues Bridge-Flaggschiff. Leider entsprach die Bildqualität nicht dem, was der Top-Ausstattung angestanden hätte. Denn die ungleichmäßige Auflösung, das teils starke Bildrauschen und die Verzeichnung kosteten wertvolle Punkte.
