Model overview based on user reviews  
The Olympus SP-600 UZ is a digital compact camera that offers excellent zoom capabilities and good macro photography, making it a solid choice for amateur photographers. Users appreciate its natural color rendition and economical power consumption, with the convenience of using AA batteries. However, the camera's auto mode can be unreliable, and it struggles with motion and low-light photography, often resulting in blurry images. The camera is praised for its simple and clear menu, but some users find the lack of manual settings limiting. While it is not comparable to a DSLR, it provides decent photo quality for its price, making it a good budget option for capturing memories, especially in natural lighting. Despite some drawbacks, such as issues with the flash and video zoom, the SP-600 UZ remains a reliable choice for landscape and macro photography.

In 10 years it has become morally and physically outdated. But it still works.

Not a bad "point-and-shoot"... for the 2010-2012 era. :)
I got it for landscape photography. I've been using it for these purposes for over 10 years.
The camera takes decent pictures in natural light, especially in sunny weather. By using a tripod and choosing the right angle, you can get very good shots, even by today's standards. But the SP-600UZ is no match for professional cameras.
Works with AA batteries - they are easier to find and purchase than searching for a camera battery. Rechargeable AA 1.5 type batteries can be used.
Takes decent photos in natural lighting.
Digital zoom available. Even today, 32X is a good zoom.
Well-functioning macro mode.
Reliability - 10 years of operation in various conditions. Not every electronic device can boast such reliability.
Built-in photo filters. Nothing to write home about, but they are there.
Automation. Some sources mention a manual mode, but that’s not true. Everything in this camera is automatic. Shooting in auto mode is very inconvenient in many situations.
Video recording capability. Even in 2010, it was mediocre. It would have been better to replace video recording with a manual focus adjustment mode.
Poor night shooting. Unfortunately, the camera can't shoot at night. The noise in such photos will be very high.
Using the zoom is only possible with a tripod, or if you have steel tendons.
Performs poorly under artificial lighting—you need to adjust the lighting very carefully.
The lens cap is weak, and the battery compartment latch is poorly built.

For its price, the best camera

I've been using it for several years, and I really like it. You can zoom up to x95 at 8MP, which is quite good, and the image quality remains high even at maximum resolution. When recording video, it's advisable to stick to digital zoom only, otherwise, it won't be possible to adjust it at all.
Fairly heavy, about 650 grams.

A very good camera in its price category!!!
17 October 2010 
A good camera in ITS PRICE CATEGORY from $180 to $250! The price/quality ratio of this device is excellent! With a certain skill, the photos turn out great! Of course, it is pointless to compare them with photographs of MIRRORS; these are completely incomparable things, both in quality and price! A more or less sane DSLR, it’s many times more expensive! When compared with more popular brands, the quality will be the same, but the price will be higher!
Natural color rendition, very good macro and super macro quality, very good photos in (scene programs) and (manual settings) mode! Economical power consumption! Good video quality! Decent zoom! Menus and settings are simple and clear!
Sometimes the mode (auto) fails, there are not enough manual settings!
