Key Advantages

The SP-815UZ provides a versatile 10x optical zoom lens, delivering great focal length flexibility. It benefits from Olympus's patented optical image stabilization technology, reducing blur in handheld shots. Its 10MP sensor produces detailed images suitable for moderate enlargement and printing. The camera’s inclusion of RAW image format allows advanced post-processing control. Its manual exposure modes attract photography enthusiasts seeking creative control. The compact form factor makes it practical for travel and casual shooting.

Limitations

The sensor size is relatively small compared to modern CMOS sensors, which may result in increased noise at higher ISO sensitivities. The maximum ISO sensitivity tops at 1600, which is limited for low-light conditions. The use of xD Picture Card format restricts compatibility and expansion options compared to SD cards. Autofocus performance is slower than contemporary models, particularly in low light. The video recording capabilities are basic with low resolution and frame rate. The LCD screen resolution and brightness are modest by today’s standards.
