Key Advantages

The Olympus Stylus SP-820UZ offers an impressive 26x optical zoom lens with wide-angle to super-telephoto range, making it versatile for landscapes to wildlife photography. The in-body image stabilization system helps maintain sharpness even at high zoom levels. Its 14MP sensor delivers high-resolution images suitable for large prints. Full 720p HD video recording enhances multimedia capabilities. The 3.0-inch LCD display is large and bright, facilitating easy composition and image review. Lastly, AA battery compatibility simplifies power sourcing globally without the need for proprietary chargers.

Limitations

Despite its strong zoom capabilities, the camera uses a CCD sensor which may generate more noise in low light compared to modern CMOS sensors. The maximum ISO sensitivity is limited, impacting performance in dim conditions. Battery life varies significantly with AA batteries and may not last as long as rechargeable lithium-ion packs. Autofocus speed can be slower compared to newer digital cameras. The camera lacks advanced manual controls favored by enthusiasts for fine photographic adjustments. Additionally, video capture is limited to 720p resolution, which is below current HD standards.
