January 11 | Posted by Andri Kurniawan | Digital Camera, New Gadgets
When an 18X or 20X ultra zoom just isn’t enough, Olympus brings us the new SP-590 Ultra Zoom, which packs a whopping 26X optical zoom lens. I would imagine that you’re going to need either a tripod or a high ISO setting to shoot at full telephoto if you want a sharp photo! Here are the specs on this mega zoom camera:
