What a fabulous little camera this is. If you're looking for a compact digital camera with over 6 million megapixels that is very, very small, then you can't do better than the Mju 600 from Olympus.
When I first saw it I knew it was the camera for me. I wanted a nice small camera to take on holiday that was very small but packed a punch. By this I mean that it has 6 million megapixel, so you can happily print up to an A4 size without loosing the quality of your pictures. It has all the different flash settings you could need, for example: red eye reduction, fill-in etc. and yet it is only:
Dimensions: H55 x W97 x D27mm
Here is what this dinky little baby has got:
6.0 million pixels
BrightCapture Technology for better framing and better image results in low light including a special mode that reduces the possibility of image.
6.4cm / 2.5" LCD monitor
Weatherproof metal body in Navy Blue, Ruby Red & Arctic Silver
High-precision 3x zoom lens (equiv. to 35-105mm in 35mm format) 1:3.1-5.1
23 scene modes (incl. Portrait, Beach and Snow, Night
Scene and Underwater modes) plus Programme Auto
TruePic TURBO image processor
Movie function up to memory capacity
Macro and Super Macro mode (from 7cm)
PictBridge compatible
Multi-language menu (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Russian) plus possibility to download further languages from the internet through the Olympus Master software
Special editing functions to enhance images and to add creative effects: e.g. red-eye-fix, adjust brightness, insert frame and/or title
Supplied with Olympus Master Software
Weight: 129g (without battery)
Zoom : 5 X (digital): 3X (optical)
The main reason I bought this camera was for the big LCD monitor which provides generously sized images of your photos from angles as wide as 160 degrees under virtually any lighting conditions. It uses it special 'Brightcapture' technology to enhance the lighting of the screen so that you can see the image even in very low light conditions. (Very handy if you're in Iceland in December!)
The other reason for buying this specific camera was because it is weatherproof (equivalent to the IEC standard publication 529 IPX4) (Not waterproof I hasten to add!) Although there is also an optional underwater case (PT-029) available.
It comes in three different colours: red, blue and silver. I bought the red one because I thought it looked very stylish and a bit different. Olympus do their own case for this camera, but I found because the case included room for the memory card and batteries etc it was too big, so I bought a smaller one from the airport.
What's in the box???? This model comes with the following accessories:
Standard Box Camera Strap Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery Li-12B Battery charger USB cable Video cable OLYMPUS MASTER (Software CD-ROM) Instruction manuals Warranty card - 2 Year Olympus Warranty
The camera is very easy to use. In fact it really does make things easy. You don't have to know anything about photography to use it. When you enter the 'mode' section you just choose either:
Portrait, landscape, landscape + portrait, night scene, night + portrait, sport, indoor, candle, self portrait, available light, sunset, fireworks, museum, cuisine, behind glass, documents, auction (captures 3 pictures sequentially at different exposures in the appropriate size for e-auction!), beach and snow, under water wide, under water macro, reducing blur and movie.
In conclusion, this camera is very, very small but does everything a bigger and bulkier camera would do. The only down side is that the buttons for viewing your pictures and selecting the mode you want are a bit small, but you can forgive them for this because it is such a tactile, stylish camera.
Prices start from £160 on the internet. Shop around for the best buys. It's better to buy the memory card (XD picture card) with the camera as it works out cheaper.
Advantages: excellent lens, good range of features, large (2.5") LCD screen Disadvantages: No viewfinder, small buttons, not great for contrajour shots
I've always been an Olympus camera fan, and have bought quite a few of them over the years - not because they're unreliable and need constant replacing, but because technology moves on and I don't like to get left behind! My last Olympus digital camera was only 2 megapixels (virtually top of the range when I bought it), so was due a well-deserved retirement. I settled on the Olympus mju digital 600 to replace it, and overall I've been fairly happy ... ...to upgrade from an earlier Olympus - the mju 600 takes an XD card, so you may not be able to use your old memory cards. And if you're buying a new card, make sure you buy genuine Olympus cards if you intend to use the camera's "panorama" function (it doesn't work with other cards).
What about the specification? Well, the mju 600 offers :-
6.0 megapixels ;
a 2.5" (or 6.4cm) full colour LCD screen - that's big for a very compact camera which only ...

Advantages: Brightcapture, big screen, weatherproof Disadvantages: No veiwfinder, small buttons
The olympus DIGITAL 600, which, as you might gather from the latter part of the name, offers you a healthy six megapixels of image snapping capability.
For those of you fed up with silver digital cameras, you may be pleased to know that the mju DIGITAL 600 comes in (navy) blue and (ruby) red as well as (Arctic) silver. However, you are probably going to want to chose your camera on the basis of more than just its colour...
The first thing of note ... ...its massive LCD screen. The specifications rate it at measuring 6.4cm across the diagonal, though in fact the viewing area is closer to 6cm. This is still a whole lot more than we are used to in a digital camera, and it makes framing shots a dream.
There are two elements of bad news though: the LCD takes up almost all of the space on the back of the camera, leaving no room for an optical viewfinder, and the control buttons have a relatively small ...

...am a firm believer that Olympus are probably still the best photographic device manufacturers around. They provide good, reliable products, at competitive prices and offer excellent support and other services. So Olympus cameras were my first port of call.
I was looking to spend between £150 -£200 on a comapact digital camera, that I could take out with me on holidays, outtings and even just nights out with mates, that wouldn't get in the way, and ... ...Panorama function (only with optional Olympus xD-picture Card). [Editing]

Advantages: easy to use, weatherproof, good-looking. Disadvantages: small buttons, no case.
I bought an Olympus Mju 600 as a wedding gift for my husband, whose last camera got squished by a car, and i knew i needed to get something good to replace what he'd lost. Bearing in mind i'm not very technical, i thought i'd better do a bit of research, and everywhere i went they advised me that this one was one of the better cameras to go for. Easy-to-use, 6 million pixels and a great price - excellent value for money.
It's a very nice-looking ... ...what else could i want) and the on/off noise is satisfyingly clicky like an old fashioned film camera - giving it a little more soul than most of these digital things. The big screen at the back makes framing and setting up shots really easy, and the weatherproof shell came in very useful for our October honeymoon in the Lake District!
It's got loads of different settings, for portraits, landscapes, night shots etc, but my favourite is the "reducing ...

Manufacturer's product description
With the µ[MJU:] DIGITAL 600, you'll get great results at any time of day. But there's more: thanks to the innovative BrightCapture Technology, the real fun starts at night. The large 6.4cm LCD shows a view that is 4.5 times brighter than on conventional cameras so you can see what you're shooting. And since 6 of the 23 scene modes are specifically for low-light situations getting amazing, high-definition nighttime images has never been easier.
