the Olympus µ[MJU:] 410 Digital is an update of the Olympus µ[MJU:] 400 Digital, which was a popular model. olympus have added quite a few extra features to this camera such as:
-true pic turbo image processor which delivers more image clarity, contrast and brilliant colour and also increases the camera's processing speed by up to 30%.
-sunshine LCD screen, 1.5 inches with 134,000 pixels
-wider ISO range (from 64 to 500)
-more scene program exposure modes like aperture priority, shutter speed priority or manual.
-movie recording function with sound and PictBridge support whichallows direct printing with compatible printers.
All for only about £40 more than its slightly older predecessor.
In adition, the camera has a 4 megapixel resolution and a full body metal case, which protect the camera from water spray from any direction. You would aslo get a kit with this camera consisting of;
-a camera strap
-32mb xd picture card
-audio/video cable
-one lithium-ion rechargeable battery (Li-10B)
-charger
-remote controller
-instrucion manual
-CAMEDIA Master 4.2 software package
All that in the basic kit, although, if you get the basic kit, you would be advised to get some extra storage cards.

In conclusion i can say that this camera is very good, but only depending on what your lloking for. If you want a camera that is easy to use, one that you can just turn on and take pictures with, this is the one to get, as its easy to use, and the camera always chosses the best settings for you (e.g, shutter speed, aperture, etc). This makes a excellent portable hard wearing camera that you can take to places.
(camera rrp; £299)
As for my personal experience with this camera, i would say its brilliant. Not only is it reliable and simpe to use, it produces very good picture quality. I prefer this camera to some other digital cameras because of its easiness to use, and the fact that pictures can be obtained quite easily, either by direct contact with the printer, or by the pc, through easy to use software.

re-rated as promised. I still think you shoudl comment more on each of the specifications listed, though, to show how you personally feel about each one.

Need to make the review a bit more personal, as you've only put down the techinical stuff that anyone can get just from looking at the box! Tell us how you felt when you used the camera, how easy was it to learn to use, why did you buy it in the first place, etc.
