Olympus µ[MJU:] 795 SW

A winner from Olympus

Advantages: All weather build, great results
Disadvantages: No remote

I am planning to do some touring on my cycle and required a camera that not only was lightweight and weather-proof but also took reasonable quality photos. I used to take a Leica M4-P with a Summilux 35mm lens on such journeys It requires no batteries and has been submerged in puddles more than once and survived. However the cost of roll film is now a becoming drawback. Digital photography has the main advantage of disposible imagery but the disadvantages of being subject to water damage and always requiring battery power (when camping the opportunities for recharging are probably zero) I already have an Olympus E-510 with a 14-54mm zoom lens that produces good quality pics, but is not puddle-proof. It does use XD cards though so I already had some to use in the 1030SW - No card is supplied with the 1030SW (These Xd type M ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 1030 SW

The Olympus 850 SW

Advantages: Incredibly Rugged, Still Slim, High Quality
Disadvantages: Low Battery Life, Lower MP than many

The Olympus 850 SW as a camera is synonymous with toughness - Waterproof to 3m, shockproof to a 1.5m drop (Higher than most people's hands!) and freezeproof to -10 degrees Centigrade, it's a quality piece of kit. Weight wise it tucks in at 175g, which isn't very light, but is still comfortably pocketable with relatively small dimensions. Included in the package, you'll find: * LI-42B rechargeable lithium-ion battery * Battery charger LI-40C * microSD to xD-Picture card adapter * Wrist strap * USB and A/V cables * Camera software CD * User's manual Now, being an olympus, the 850 SW only supports XD picture cards natively, but this time they've included a MicroSD to XD picture adapter - So you can use any microSD card up to 16GB with this camera. With an 8.0 megapixel sensor, the 850 SW ...

Compactmate for easy access

Advantages: ultra compact design
Disadvantages: As per the tradition, Higher ISO problem

Olympus µ[MJU:] 1050 SW *** Olympus is a very reputed brand in digital cameras in every field with Professional digital SLR cameras, middle range compact cameras and ultra compact pocket cameras. Here I am going to share some of my experience with ultra compact Olympus µ[MJU:] 1050 SW, a very slim and beautiful compact camera. This camera is very light with ultra compact body and the thickness of the body is about 2.3 cm, very slim like mobile phones. Camera has a total resolution of about 10.1 megapixel CCD and there is about 5 X optical zoom. Now have some discussion about this lens. 10.1 megapixel resolution is an average at present time, some time before 5 megapixel camera were considered as good or best resolution cameras. There are many reasons of having good resolution cameras at the moment and there were average ...
