Capture the moment, and capture the action, with the world\'s most powerful ultra zoom — the 7.1 megapixel SP-550 UZ. Its new 18x wide-angle super-telephoto zoom lens gets you closer to your subject than any other compact digital camera on the market. Dual Image Stabilization eliminates blur. And with high-speed sequential shooting and new Pre-Capture technology, you\'ll capture anything that moves. Even shoot in low light without a flash, thanks to Bright Capture Technology, and it\'s easy to preview, shoot and share with the large 2.5\" high-resolution LCD.
