C-5500ZoomSport.gifCNET has reviewed the Olympus C-5500 Sport Zoom, awarding the 5 megapixel camera a "Good" 6.7 out of 10 rating. The reviewer noted many compromises with the camera, like the inability to shoot in burst mode at the highest-quality JPEG setting. He also noticed "inconsistent shutter lag and focus-time performance."

The reviewer liked the build quality, long telephoto range, and image quality. Overall, the reviewer warned that although the camera isn't up to shooting action scenes like the name suggests, it is a good camera for the price.
