Full Review - Conclusion
Conclusion
Unlike my last review when I had difficulty choosing between the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi and the Sony alpha, the conclusion for the SP-510UZ is much easier—don’t buy it.

This is best $25 investment I’ve seen in a long while. The SP-510UZ is a big-time miss by Olympus.
Pros:
• Not many but it runs on AAs
Cons:
• Substandard picture quality
• Slow response, especially saving RAW files
• Feels cheap
