Olympus SP-350 Digital Camera Review

It’s interesting that I should have this camera to review immediately after the Canon PowerShot S80, because the two cameras are very similar in many ways. They are both mid-market models designed for the keen photographer who wants SLR-like creative photographic control in a compact camera. They both use the same Sony 8-megapixels CCD, and they both have big 2.5in 115K pixel LCD monitors. Comparing the two cameras however shows how differently Canon and Olympus have approached the same design criteria.

..It doesn’t have the performance or picture quality to be the compact semi-pro model that it pretends to be, and it does have a few significant flaws, but nonetheless the Olympus SP-350 is a decent camera, with very good build quality and handling, excellent high-ISO noise control and a useful range of photographic controls and extra features.
