The SP 800UZ fixed lens camera from Olympus contains plenty of power for a sub-$350 camera, including a 30X optical zoom lens.

Olympus has included several high-end features with the SP 800UZ beyond its large zoom lens (which carries a 28mm-840mm equivalent). This model can shoot 720p HD video, and it includes an HDMI connector.

The SP 800UZ should be available soon at an MSRP of $349.99. (Compare Prices) With 14 megapixels of resolution, a wide-screen 3.0-inch LCD, and a 16:9 shooting ratio option, the SP 800UZ looks like it should offer a good value for someone needing a large zoom in a fixed lens camera.
