Yes, yours truly bought the SP-570UZ on the spur of the moment. Well, I knew what I wanted in a bridge (SLR-like) digital camera, and the Olympus fits my needs perfectly. I’ve created a Flickr gallery for my Olympus SP-570UZ photos, and I wrote a short blog post celebrating my first three online pics.
