Olympus SP-570 UZ

20 X and 10MP! I'm waiting to see some pictures, but if the new Olympus produces it is going to be fantastic.
Thing is, to get the high zoom ratio with a lens of moderate physical size, you've got to use a small sensor, and getting a 10MP image from a small sensor adds a new set of problems. Many of the new high MP cameras already produce "noisy" pictures, got to see how Oly handles this. They can use strong noise reduction in the camera, but that usually produces soft blurry pictures. If Oly is after the serious hobby photographers they will have to deal with this, this group is more discriminating than the casual, once or twice a year camera users.
The camera is supposed to hit the stores next month, price still not known.
