Hi there Folks-

I am an Olympus SP-560 owner that has just graduated to the Olympus SP-590. The SP-590 is a big improvement over the SP-560. I am a professional digital camera instructor who likes digicams, even though I also do DSLR Camera Courses as well.

For me, the axion is this: the smaller the camera the better. A long time ago, I got very tired of hauling around a DSLR with multiple lenses. So for everyday use I prefer the ultrazoom cameras.

I don't have the 590 but would assume it is the 560 with improvements and I do have the 560 and think it does a good job. It takes time and patience to learn how to use, it's not a point and shoot camera and needs to be used beyond auto mode.
