Olympus Stylus-550WP Express Review at The Imaging Resource – The verdict:
Low-ISO images from the Olympus Stylus 550WP could be used to make good-looking prints as large as 13×19. They were slightly soft at that size, but probably acceptable for display on a wall and perusal at normal viewing distances. Low-ISO prints are quite sharp at 8×10 inches, although even there, the camera loses subtly contrasting subject detail to its noise reduction processing.
