It is not made just for taking pictures of bridges but it is a type of camera that bridges the gap between a Point and Shoot and the DSLR cameras. Kodak recently announced one themselves, the KODAK z980 . Olympus has announced the SP-590UZ ultra-zoom digital camera. Trumping Kodak's 24X zoom, the SP-590UZ features a 26X zoom lens that covers a 26-676mm equivalent focal length range. Thankfully there's image stabilization to help prevent camera shake at the long end of the zoom. Like previous recent Olympus UZ cameras, the SP-590UZ can record RAW files.
Although 26 mm isn't ideal for real estate it beats the 35mm of most of the cameras used for taking pictures for real estate. It will be good for taking taking bird pictures in my backyard in Glenwood.
Here are some of the features. No reviews yet.
Most powerful optical performance in minimum size: 26x wide optical zoom (26-676mm*) - from extreme close-ups to the action as well as landscapes, 130x incl. digital zoom

It looks like Olympus is just pushing lens technology a little further. I blogged about the SP-565UZ and SP-570UZ back in August and now they have extend the zoom range from 20X to 26X. I remember when 28mm for a point & shoot was wide and these new cameras not only are 26mm on the wide end, but they almost reach 700mm on the telephoto end. COOL!
