Olympus's compact 20x ultra-zoom of 2008 — 10MP CCD, 26-520mm f/2.8-4.5, dual IS, AA power, xD/microSD storage

The Olympus SP-565UZ was announced on 25 August 2008 as a smaller, more affordable sibling of the SP-570UZ, bringing the same 20x ultra-zoom reach to a more compact bridge body. It reached UK shops in late September 2008 at £349.99, competing with the Canon PowerShot SX and Panasonic FZ superzoom lines of the day.

A 10-megapixel 1/2.33-inch CCD sits behind the 26-520mm-equivalent f/2.8-4.5 20x zoom, with dual image stabilisation combining a mechanical stabiliser and high-ISO digital assistance. Framing uses a 2.5-inch LCD, movies record at VGA 30fps, and images save to internal memory, xD-Picture Card or microSD via Olympus's card attachment. Power comes from four AA batteries, a practical choice for travel.

The 26mm-to-520mm span covers everything from cramped interiors to distant wildlife, which is the whole appeal of the class: one camera, no lens changes. AA power means spares are available anywhere on earth. Autofocus slows at the long end and the small CCD limits high-ISO output, so it rewards daylight shooting, monopods and patience at 520mm.

AA power removes charger worries but check the battery contacts for corrosion from leaked alkalines. Storage is the awkward part: xD cards are discontinued, so a sale including the microSD attachment adds real value. Test stabilisation at full zoom, check the lens for internal dust drawn in by the long barrel, and confirm the mode dial and zoom rocker respond cleanly.
