I have used Olympus compacts for a number of years, mainly because I was very impressed with the original mju. Sadly the subsequentreplacements have never quite lived up to the the first one, which I think was a 1.3mp. This is surprising because technically they have been incrementally better, with advances in most areas. As a non techincal user, I'm guessing that the lense of the original camera was it's strong point, and while the megapixels increased, the price of the compacts came down, and the lense was sacrificed as a production saving.

I bought this camera to replace a mju 740, attaracted by it's claim to be an all environment tool.

The photos are good, the macro effective, and the ability to use a micro SD card is a welcome addition to the advantages. It does the job well.
