Introductory Paragraph The Olympus SP-510 Ultra Zoom is an ideal choice for photographers who need a "do-it-all" camera without the weight of multiple lenses. This specific unit (S/N: J93C19412) features Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, which are typically found in professional lenses to ensure maximum sharpness and minimal color fringing. The SP-510UZ is highly versatile, offering a Super Macro mode that allows you to focus as close as 3cm, making it perfect for nature and detail photography. Its reliance on standard AA batteries makes it a reliable travel companion, ensuring you can find power almost anywhere in the world.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: J93C19412) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The 7.1MP CCD sensor is clean. The 10x Olympus ED lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The zoom mechanism operates smoothly throughout the 38-380mm range. The electronic viewfinder and rear LCD are both bright and fully functional. All buttons, the mode dial, and the battery compartment are in good working order.

Specialist Note "The SP-510UZ is a fantastic example of Olympus's engineering prowess in the bridge camera market. What I love about this S/N: J93C19412 is the 'ED' lens; it really makes a difference in clarity when you are fully zoomed in at 380mm. The 7.1MP CCD sensor has that classic Olympus color science—very natural and balanced. It’s also one of the most power-efficient cameras of its time, which is a huge plus for long days of shooting. It’s a perfect entry-point for someone who wants to experiment with long-range wildlife or sports photography without the complexity or cost of a full DSLR system."
