World's Biggest 18x Optical Zoom Camera

Equipped with an 18x wide-angle ultra-zoom lens, the SP-550UZ captures impressively magnified images of distant subjects like sporting matches, surf action, landscapes, nature, concerts and candid street scenes.

Hands shakey when taking long zoom or macro pictures? The SP-550UZ features an all new Dual Shakeproof technology with CCD Shift Stabilization to dramatically reduce unwanted camera shake problems!

For sport and action photography, or simply taking pictures of active kids running around the yard, the super high-speed continuous shooting feature allows the camera to shoot at a rate of 15 frames per second (at 1.2 megapixel resolution - at 3.0 megapixel resolution, 7.4 fps is achievable). A unique pre-capture mode records 5 image frames even before the shutter button is pressed - maximising your chance of capturing that crucial action moment!
