The Olympus SP-570 UltraZoom digital camera features a 1/2.33" CCD imager with a resolution of ten megapixels, coupled with an Olympus ED-branded 20x (!!) optical zoom lens with an extremely useful 26 - 520mm equivalent focal length range and F2.8 - 4.5 maximum aperture. There's a choice of both an electronic viewfinder with diopter correction (precise specifications unknown), plus a 2.7" LCD display with 230,000 pixel resolution. Autofocus is via contrast detection, and as you'd expect Olympus has included AE / AF-linked face detection technology. The Olympus SP570UZ can also be focused manually. The SP570's ISO sensitivity ranges from 50 to 6400 equivalent controlled automatically or manually - a fairly impressive range, but it remains to be seen what image noise at ISO 6400 from a small ten megapixel imager is like. The Olympus 570UZ also offers what the company calls "Dual Image Stabilization" mode, which combines both sensor-shift type mechanical stabilization, as well as software stabilization
