Main Features: 4 Mega Pixels 3x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom Weatherproof Body Solid Metal Construction Macro Setting (for close up shots) 4 Flash Modes 5 Photo Settings Movie Recording (sadly no sound) 1.5" LCD Screen The main factor that influenced ...
...you must buy the genuine Olympus XD cards if you want to use the "Panorama" function on the camera, other (cheaper) cards such as the Fuji ones, won't let you use this function - more on this function below. I then bought a spare battery (£25) so that I never run out of power - I would advise anyone looking to buy a digital camera to check the price of spare batteries as it makes a world of difference if you aren't able to get to mains electric ...

Disadvantages: No protective case included and the larger xD-Picture Cards are highly priced.

...Then I spotted it, the Olympus u [MJU:] 400 Digital Camera. It was excellent. I liked the look of it as, it was compact and in a tough, hard looking metal case, which meant if I dropped it, it wouldn't break easily. When the staff handed it to me, I couldn't believe how stylish it looked in the polished silver case, plus it was of a small shape and light weight. So, therefore it isn't clumsy. This I thought would be ideal to put in your pocket when ...
...be suitable for all weathers. It included a lens cap built into the main case, which meant you wouldn't need to put it in your pocket to get dirty or put it down and lose it. This is a bit of a problem; as if you close it quick you can trap the lens. When I asked the staff for some extra information they told me: 1) You could create short movies with an easy playback, however there is no sound. 2) You could quick view all the images stored on the ...

Advantages: Stylish compact design, sturdy metal build, fantastic price.
Disadvantages: No case, manuals only supplied on CD.

In my opinion the Olympus µ[MJU:] 400 is a fantastic little camera, and just because it's small doesn't mean it isn't packed with features. I bought this when I was looking for a small camera to carry around while on my hols. I’ve had an Olympus MJU 35mm camera for years and it’s never let me down so this was the obvious choice when I wanted to go digital. It has all the normal features that you would expect, and none of the gimmicky ones that you ...
...picture cards, specifically designed by Olympus and Fuji for digi camera use. You can get up to 512Mb cards, which can store over 150 pics even in the largest resolution! And finally, the price…. most of the high-street shops were selling this for £350+ but a bit of searching on the internet and I found Amazon, Dixons and PC World all selling it for £260 and at that price you really can’t go wrong. Other little extras make this a great package… ... Read review

...my beady eyes on an Olympus 350 which was on special offer at my local Dixons (a couple of months ago now) For the purposes of continuing research I had a look at a couple of other makes and models and surprise surprise the canny salesman shoved an Olympus mju 400 under my nose – 1st impression, I had to have one. These are the major features that sold it to me: Lovely compact design Sturdy well built feel (it’s got a weatherproof case) Good ...
...them for a numpty like me! For the techies among you, it's a 4 megapixel camera with a combination digital / analogue zoom and XD memory card and a lithium battery One feature I really like compared to other cameras I looked at is the side door which hides and protects the memory card (XD type) the video out and USB ports. That keeps the outer appearance tidy and they won't get damaged. The supplied memory on the basic model is 16mb, enough for ... Read review

Advantages: Looks fantastic. Lots of features
Disadvantages: Blurry pictures and no manual focus.

Olympus MJU:400 stylus 4.0megapixel digital point and shoot camera. The story was my brother had a lovely Konica Revio 3 megapixel digital camera and showed me the true benefits of getting a digital camera. This took superb pictures and looked like a better option that having a still camera and permanently buying film and developing the pictures. It was always random luck whether I liked even a few of what I got back. So saving money and being a ...
...magazine I came across the Olympus and boy it looked fantastic. The all singing all dancing wonderful camera with 4 megapixels. Me and my wife fell in love with it’s sleak and lovely design. I did some research as I did not want to spend about £300 on a camera that was going to be awful and thoroughly checking all the reviews I could find it sounded like the best possible camera to get. The reviews said great for everything, so that had sold ... Read review
