REVIEW

We all need help now and then. And when it comes to digital cameras, everybody, even pros, could use a few pointers from time to time. Welcome guidance is just what the Olympus SP-510 UZ, a moderately sized, lightweight, 7.1-megapixel superzoom with 10X optical zoom, offers shutterbugs of all levels. The camera's guide modes anticipate your questions, helping you navigate menus, capture a variety of shots, create effects, and more. The helpful setting also provides a selection of "next moves" to ensure that you're not stumbling around in the dark while operating the device.
