Re: Olympus Stylus SZ-15 with 24x Optical Zoom $80 shipped - hal - 05-29-2014
Whenever I check out a new digicam, I go straight to http://www.steves-digicams.com , find the review, scroll down to "JUMP TO PAGE:" to the Sample Photos and look for the one that uses full zoom and take a good look.
Of course, my priority is the superzoom.
And this one looks pretty good. There is a fair amount of noise, but no color fringing which seems to be the worst problem for the full zoom shots on these cheap cameras.
I used to use an Olympus 26x zoom back when that was the cutting edge of superzooms and it was pretry good. IS was pretty crappy, but it wasn't dual.

Sorry Hal, the deal was a dud so I changed the topic on you.

I might consider this for a first DSLR instead of say a D90 plus a lens as much as I'd have a hard time with just one thumb wheel and that viewfinder. Neither are weather sealed.
It's supposed to me a nice camera, dunno about the 18-55, but it would be a start and something to work with at least most of the time.
I've considered it a few times when it has been offered body-only at an even better price point.

I am seeing used D300 for less than $500 and D7000 (both weather sealed) are dropping to below the $700 neighborhood. Watch your local internet classifieds.

Yeah, everyone selling cameras here seem to think their used pampered babies with 15,000+ clicks are worth 10% more than a nikon factory refurb.
I keep looking though.
