Not really a good test as she was in different positions and areas of the feeding station. But, SA does work quite well.

Good Morning, Gary-

Again everything is right on target. I am impressed with the sharpness of the blue jay.

Have a great day.

Hello again, Gary-

I am amazed at the huge difference in image quality between the two cameras. Now I just have to my hands on mine!

Me, too. I think I've found a keeper in the SP590. To be sure, there are some things I dislike about the SP590. None have anything to do with performance. I miss the zoom ring. I liked the way the 570 showed what the settings were on the LCD between shots - like the DSLRs. The 590 doesn't do that. Not that I'm constantly placing/removing it from the tripod (I have a quick-release plate), but, it's got a plastic tripod mount. No power indicator. And, no hotshoe. There's a many more things I like about it. It seems a bit more compact. Of course, the zoooooooooom, it's faster in every aspect - from start-up to focusing (even in low light). And, they've added a couple of features that I'll probably never use such as the "Beautify" feature for portraits. The Panorama Mode is REALLY slick - very much like what Sony is touting in the HX-1. The buttons have been rearranged - again. That'll take some getting-used-to.

Good Morning, Gary-

Well, all in all the SP-590 sounds very positive. Certainly, the image quality has improved along with other things as well, such as the new physical form factor.

I got a surprise last night. I have a birthday coming up, and my husband said to me, "If you can find a way to return that new Olympus SP-590 being shipped to us, I think you ought to get the Olympus E-620 DSLR to replace it. You might enjoy the E-620 challenge, more in the final analysis."

So, that is what I am going to start working on this morning. What a very nice surprise. I guess you can say that made my day.

Have a great day.

Hi Gary-

At 4:00pm the UPS man delivered the Oly SP-590. Naturally, I set-up immediately, and here 10 minutes later, is the first photo, which always traditionally is of my husband, Bradley. God Bless, Bradley he is always so patient with me.

Soooooooooo.... like it?

Honestly, Gary-

The OLY SP-590 is a very sweet camera. But I am supposed to return it, as my husband wants to purchase the OLY E-620 for me.

Such a dilemma! I already have too many cameras as Bradley has let me know, rather plainly. Oh well, the weekend lies ahead, we will see what we can work out.

I have the lenses and the external flash to support the E-620, so it is not out of the question. I will let you know later.

Have a great weekend.
