They are about $500 retail, but you can them cheaper and with
a bundle at Amazon.com and some other sites.

How much does Olympus pay?

How much do they pay you?

Chas is being mean about your enthusiasm for your new
camera. Ignore the snide and enjoy your camera.
Good luck with it..

No, not mean (simply skeptical). Just reads too much like "And I approve
this message."

Anyway, as Irwell stated, enjoy your camera.

It's a really slow camera

Misinformation perpetuated by ignorance that you read elsewhe

People need to quit quoting that as a reference source. I have personally tested
about 20 of the cameras on that list and ALL the timings on that list, of those
that I tested, were in error. Many of those P&S cameras have minimal
shutter-lags that rival or beat today's DSLRs.

If you have not personally tested those cameras then don't continue to
perpetuate other's personal biases, stupidity, and ignorance by moronically
mimicking it. But then how would you know that you are just as stupid as they
are?

I have checked them out as far as comparing the numbers to other
websites like Steve's digicams and Imaging-Resource. The numbers that
are displayed at cameras.co.uk in this easy to compare page are very
similar numbers to the other sites. If you would do a little research
you may even be able to determine the parameters of the tests.

You're too stupid and ignorant to tell the difference.

What would be stupid is to believe a poster on a newsgroup that does
not substantiate his claim as to how he personally tested the cameras
but won't list data or explain the methods used in his much more
accurate tests.

I hate to be so bold as to ask but, just what is your measured shutter
lag of the SP-570UZ ? Put up or shut up.

And thus the ignorance-perpetuating idiots and trolls of R.P.D. usenet were
born.

Can you say hypocrite?

KenClarrie ???? Seeing how this is your first post
to rec.photo.digital, and seeing how you have become rabid
over my pointing out that the Olympus camera is slow, I have
to wonder if you are just a Olympus shill.

Don't worry you're not the only shill on this newsgroup.
Canon uses more than one person on this newsgroup to
influence favor of their cameras.

It has 45 meg of internal memory and can be set to a "Continuous
Shooting Drive" mode, which seems to work very well.

It has:

Single Fram Shooting
Sequential Shooting
High Speed Sequential Shooting 1
High Speed Sequential Shooting 2
Pre-capture
AF sequential shooting
Bracket Shooting

Is this what you are talking about?

If you could elaborate so I can test for that, I would appreciate
it.

Thanks

Have not noticed that. Could you elaborate a bit on it
please?

Have you checked the shutter lag?

I don't understand what Charles is trying to say. Is he saying
that it is too expensive or talking about some rebate or
something? Perhaps that it is not so good of a value?

Not really. The shutter lag I am most concerned with, and the lag that
is measured by many camera sites is just how long does the camera take
to capture the image after the shutter is depressed.

There is a prefocused lag that can be quite quick, and then there is
the shutter lag at full autofocus, wide and telephoto.

This lag can be frustrating if you want to capture an action event
such as a swing of a baseball bat but your camera's shutter lag makes
you miss the shot.

Two examples from the same site:


A older Sony H-1 that is quite fast

And a Oly SP-560UZ that should be similar to your camera

Look up the word "shill." Here is one link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill

If you are just an enthusiastic customer, then I must apologize. The jury
is still out on that issue, by the way.

One cannot easily judge what is really going on here and especially so when
it comes to the motives of posters.

Your original post reads like an advertisement and that suggests bias based
on patronage. I am still suspicious about your original post.

I believe he may be legit but manufacturers like Canon create shills
as a good business practice. Unfortunately this group is not immune.

I have been on this group for at least 5 years. Just go search
Google Groups.

I just did, and it stopped at 999 posts in the year 2003. I'm
not sure how to make it go farther back than that using Google
Groups.

I don't understand why you would be:

A - Suspicious
B - Mean about it and calling me names

That's just totally rude and not cool. Why would you even want
to be in a group that makes you feel so hostile?

I replied to him.

Please, just do a Google Groups search and see how long I have
been here and then there should be no need for anybody to call me
names and be mean to me.

All I wanted to do was share my excitement of getting a new
camera, and then somebody has to go and ruin it and call me names
and be rude / mean.

I don't understand it. I didn't do anything to him at all, but
he wants to attack me anyway. I don't even know who he is.

This used to be a fun and informative group. Man, what a bummer.
