The OLYMPUS STYLUS SP-820UZ is equipped with a 22.4mm wide-angle to 896mm super-telephoto, high-magnification zoom lens, enabling an extremely wide range of shooting possibilities. The power of a large and heavy, sized super-telephoto lens is available on the compact body of the STYLUS SP-820UZ, making it the perfect companion for keeping baggage light on a trip. This is an "all-in-one" camera for easily taking high-grade pictures on the go.

With the 40x optical zoom lens, users can capture intense and up-close photos of far away subjects with ease. The STYLUS SP-820UZ can capture the expressions on children's faces at school games and plays, and the action of athletes at sporting events, with a level of detail not visible to the naked eye. With Super Resolution zoom, users can not only zoom up to 80x with virtually no image degradation, but in combination with the digital zoom it is even possible to photograph craters on the moon at 160x. With CMOS shift-type image stabilization and DUAL IS*3 for high-sensitivity shooting, camera shake is effectively reduced during telephoto shooting. With 22.4mm*2 wide-angle shooting, landscape photos and large group photos are a cinch. With just this one camera, users can enjoy shooting various scenes at just the right angles.

22.4mm wide-angle to 896mm

Boring

The Nikon Coolpix P510 still leads the super-zoom race with it's 24-1000mm.

Someone needs to make one of these super-zooms weather-resistant to make these more interesting and useful outdoors.

My Nikon P500 has 22.5-810mm eqiv lens, 920K tilt LCD and EVF vs fixed 460K and no EVF on the Olympus. I also prefer the P500 hi speed video switch compared to no HS video switch on the P510 and wider 22.5mm vs 24mm wide angle. BTW 1000mm is nothing to what I would get with my Pentax Q on my 2350mm (12,925mm eqiv).
