Replacement or upgrade for Olympus SP-590 UZ? Recommendations?
Re: Replacement or upgrade for Olympus SP-590 UZ? Recommendations?
What you are looking for in this upgrade. Olympus makes mirrorless with smaller sensors. They have much better quality as the compacts you are talking about but lower than the larger sensor cameras (APS-C or Full frame). Based on your budget the full frame and higher class dSLRs or mirrorless are out. Therefore you can look at the cheaper offerings from Olympus micro four-thirds or entry level dSLRs. In dSLR game remained only 3 manufacturers (Canon, Nikon and Pentax). Their entry level with some flexible lenses are Canon 600D with 18-135 mm IS STM, Nikon D5100 with 18-105 mm VR or Pentax K-50 with 18-135 mm WR. Verify the prices in your country for these combos.
Olympus has some intersting offering like the one mentioned or Olympus E-PL5. Try to find a combo with something like 12-60 mm (I know that there is a four thirds lens but you can try to find a similar range even starting at 14 mm).
There are also mirrorless with larger sensors (like Sony A6000, Sony NEX, Fujifilm X or Samsung NX) out there to increase the confusion.
Whatever you buy enjoy and don't look back.
