Digital Camera Review has posted their review of the Olympus SP-560 UZ and writes - "First impressions of the Olympus SP-560 UZ were generally favorable. It is comfortable to hold, has an impressive zoom, and is loaded with features. For those reasons alone, this camera will probably sell well. Living with it is a little harder, especially when one realizes that many of these features are buried in the most appalling menu system yet devised. The last time I was this confused with a piece of electronics, some kind soul had set my cellphone language to Norwegian. With the recent advances in shutter lag reduction – the previous bane of the compact digital camera world – it is a shame that Olympus has sought to replace it with "menu lag," as users scramble to get the camera set up for the picture unfolding in front of them. Above all else, this is what lets the SP-560 down. While the lens has a few drawbacks, the sheer versatility of this zoom range, coupled to a camera with manageable size/weight and powered by readily available AA batteries make this a good choice for travelling, especially so if the destination is going to be sunny and can limit your photography to lower ISO shots. For most shooters, however, it would be worth sacrificing some of that upper zoom range for simpler functionality and greater dynamic range."
