Olympus is no stranger to ultrazooms, with three models in its current line-up: the 10 megapixel/20x zoom 565UZ and 570UZ, and the new 12 megapixel/26x zoom 590UZ. The smallest and lightest of the three, the Olympus SP-565UZ represents a minor update to its sibling, the 570UZ.

Is there a particular reason that they removed the hot-shoe? Was it to keep the price "low?"

Possibly. It may have also been a size/weight issue, as with the current pop-up flash arrangement on the 565, there's really no room to wedge a hotshoe in there.

At least they left wireless flash support...
