Olympus’s new SP-590UZ is all about the numbers. It has the longest zoom capacity of the models we tested here, with a focal length of 26-676mm. This is only marginally more than the 24x zooms offered by the Nikon P90 and Pentax X70 – but the SP-590UZ...

The Olympus SP-590UZ is an advanced compact digital camera with a 12-megapixel sensor and a 26x zoom lens — the largest of any compact camera on the market. A 26mm wide-angle means it’s good for landscape and party shots, although the lens is not consistently sharp and clear. Higher ISO ranges are also practically unusable.
