MJU, I LOVE YOU!

Advantages: weatherproof stylish body, easy to use, accurate images, good battery life, reasonable price
Disadvantages: lack of manual modes, accidentally changing mode

The MJU range from Olympus is a series of stylish ultra-compact film cameras which has been so hugely successful that they have launched the same line in a digital range to give the user all the advantages of the MJU cameras but with digital capabilities rather than film. The film v digital debate is something I could talk about for hours but I won’t, at the end of the day it’s down to what you personally prefer and for what you need. With so much ...
...of camera you go for. Olympus currently has the MJU 300 digital and the MJU 400 digital, with the main difference being, of course, the extra megapixel. I am reviewing the Olympus MJU 300 digital.

~~~DESIGN~~~

The first point to note is the stylish appearance of the camera, when handled it has a sturdy metallic feel about the body but despite the solid feel it is still a light camera. It also has a very compact design; ... more

Drop-dead gorgeous

Advantages: Stylish, easy to use, packed with features
Disadvantages: memory incompatible with previous models

Olympus have come up trumps again with this beautifully engineered digital camera, and whilst I never originally set out to specialise in reviewing cameras, this turns out to be my seventh to date. Digital camera technology is proceeding at a ferocious rate - hardly a month goes by without a new clutch of 'stronger faster better more' models from all the camera manufacturers - this is rather more to do with being a market driven commodity. The ...
...and any other similarly priced Olympus camera produced in the past two years or so - which is only true to a point. The Olympus Mju (pronounced 'mew') 300 ties the camera, in name at least, to the already popular and well respected film camera range - and justifiably so, I say. Canon have already done this with the 'Ixis' range, which come in film and digital formats. Olympus market the Mju 300 in their 'Stylish' range of cameras - this is doublespeak ...

Great first digital camera

Advantages: Excellent value for money, good range of features, high quality camera and photos
Disadvantages: No manual adjustment of exposure duration, only short videos possible, with no sound

...with my choice of the Olympus mju 300 Digital. I got an excellent deal on the camera, the standard retail price of which was around £270. I took advantage of Jessops’ excellent price match policy, and they matched the cheapest price I had managed to find on the intenet: £215, making a substantial saving and getting very good value for money on this well specified camera. I shall run through the camera’s features, commenting where appropriate!: • The ...
...card fairly recently developed by Olympus and Fuji. Apparently these new cards may be read from and written to more quickly than rival types, though I have no personal experience of this. The cards are a little more expensive than alternative types, but not excessively so. The camera came with only a 16MB card (capable of storing 6, or 20 pictures on the top two resolutions respectively), so I purchased two 128MB cards for a total of about £70, which ...

Great little camera!

Advantages: Stylish, small
Disadvantages: Comes with small picture card

...I decided to get the Olympus mju-300. It is a very stylish little camera that is weatherproof and I now don’t know how I lived without it. Taking photos. This camera not only looks good, but is small enough to fit easily into my handbag, so I carry it everywhere. That means I never miss taking a photo of the unprompted little things that the children do. It is a very simple camera to use, just open the front cover, point and shoot. It uses ...
...on your computer, and the Olympus software will open. You are prompted to download images (you can choose all or some) and a few moments later it is all done! Editing pictures The software supplied was excellent. I haven’t used the full range of options, and it isn’t a substitute for full picture editing software (if that’s the way you want to go), but it is very easy to use. I regularly use it to crop and rotate my photos. What ...

Good Little Looker

Advantages: Stylish, Durable, Compact and easy to use
Disadvantages: Small picture card

...require and understand them, the Olympus site is the place to visit. The software that was supplied was simple enough to setup on my PC and was just about adequate for basic needs, I upgraded to the Pro option, which takes approx 20 minutes and is just a case of downloading the upgrade after paying for it, the link to carry out the upgrade is emblazoned on the original software. Once installed you can cut, crop, rotate, edit, change background, ...

Without to much shopping around better deals than this are available. This camera is a very versatile and resilient piece of equipment, which is easy to operate, and should cover the needs of most budding photographers. ...

Inexpensive digital camera for Travelling

Advantages: Showerproof. Great pictures. Fast transfer. Works OK with my 512Mb XD card. Reasonably quick autofocus and flash
Disadvantages: Build quality concerns: Plastic switches. Weak zoom switch. Silver colour soon wears -off all switches. Sliding front has switch which often fails due to dirt/dust. Noticably slower startup when using a large (512Mb) card. Short videos. No sound.

The Olympus Mju300 3.2 MegaPixel proved a fine camera for my recent 12 months of backpacking around the world. My selection criteria was for a strong, compact , metal bodied, shower proof camera, with a compact multi-voltage charger, good optics, a reasonably quick auto focus at a keen price. I chose Olympus since they are and have always been a camera maker (as opposed to Sony or Casio et al) so should know a thing or two about lenses and camera ...
...Fortunately the excellent local Olympus service centre in Christchurch replaced the entire camera's back in a jiffy. Metal bodied camera…. plastic buttons. Olympus take note. This camera takes both Fuji or Olympus XD cards but comes equipped with a disappointing 16Mb card which only stores 6 pictures in the maximum "Super High Quality" (2048 x 1536 pixel) mode. I recommend dropping the resolution however, particularly when on the road, to SQ1 "Super ...
