Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

...not self-explanatory is - but Olympus have done all the work in configuring them, all you do is choose and shoot. Then if that is not enough for you, you can choose between 13 "guided shooting" menu items: Brightening subject Shooting into backlight Set particular lighting Blurring background Adjusting area in focus Shooting subject in motion Targeting with assistance Close up photo Super close up photo Shooting at night Reducing blur ...
...you into choices to set the mode as required to get the effect you are looking for. Then you have the final mode of video, which again is just point and shoot. The menu button system is very much like a mobile phone, small keys but very well thought out, four buttons surrounding the middle "ok" button, enabling you to change to macro, move round your pictures, change flash mode etc. Outside of these are four more keys with coloured icons or words ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

I have been using the Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital Camera for three months now and from my experience of using it I can say that it is a high quality, user friendly and good value compact digital camera. Having never owned a digital camera before, I wanted something easy to use as well as having a durable and stylish body, and producing high quality images. Experience so far has proven that this camera completely fulfils these criteria. The instruction ...
...was a bit disappointed that Olympus does not provide you with a removable xD card. You have to buy this separately which is slightly annoying but definitely worth investing in. The largest memory card currently available for the camera is 1GB. I haven't filled it up yet but I can safely say that it holds in excess of 300 photos as well as 5 short films, as this is as much as I have taken so far! Obviously once you have put photos onto a computer ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

...it. i only ever buy olympus digital cameras (as i would a manual camera). it's a brand that i've used for many years that i trust and have had continuous quality results from. when i opened the box, i couldn't believe how light and slimline this camera was.....honestly, its sooooo diddy! everything was neatly concealed in this small blue olympus box (see list below of contents) and i was very impressed with what i got for the money i had spent. ...
...however after using my new olympus mju 700 for about five/ten minutes i pretty much had it all figured out! i think the different options for picture taking are fantastic... everything from shooting underwater to fireworks to pictures by candlelight. i also quickly tried out the film option. it films for up to 40 seconds with sound and is pretty good quality. all you have to do is press the power button, it automatically sets itself up and all you ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

...recently switched from an earlier Olympus 3MP camera to this MJU 700, and have largely felt nothing but joy when using this camera. The body of this camera has been designed extremely well, and is sleek and stylish, not to mention being available is some stunning colours, but also is incredibly comfortable to handle. A large (2.5") LCD viewfinder means no more squinting at the image you are trying to capture, but is large, sharp and clear. The one ...

...swing analysing it on the Olympus Master program on my laptop. The design is slick and sexy, the front panel is curved which i think is just for aesthetic reasons, but it feels nice in your palm and the weight of the camera has to be one of its main advantages. It really is the lightest camera I have ever felt of its kind and all my friends are envious of it for that reason. If I had to choose anything that the Olympus 700 lacked I would say that ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

I've been using this camera for about 6 months now, and it has yet to let me down. It takes good, high quality pictues which can easily be made bigger without comprimising picture quality. The instruction manual is clear and concise, and [thankfully] doesnt contain too many technical words. The ease of transfer from camera to computer is amazing, as thumbnails of the images that you have taken appear before you upload them, allowing you to even further ...
...zoom in and out of stored images [on the camera], excellent for checking those fine details. I was particularly impressed with the amount of adaptations that you can make to the photos on the camera - making them black and white, sepia . . . even taking away the red eyes. The modes are fun to play around with, and the self - timer is very easy to use. My only concern - and it is tiny - is the inablility to change the exposure time. But for the vast ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

The Olympus µ 700 was my first digital camera. It is an outstanding camera and has impressive functionality. This camera is stylish in every way, and available in different colours, allowing the buyer to seek not only quality, but also style in a camera. I received this camera as a present after researching various other cameras, but from the start, this camera caught my eye. I was impressed by the “BrightCapture Technology” display screen on the ...
...quality recording. All in all, this piece of kit is excellent, and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good priced high quality camera. In the box along with the camera comes a Strap, USB cable, Audio/video cable, rechargeable battery LI-42B, charger LI-42C, OLYMPUS Master 1.4. ...

...the technology and design. Olympus has always been good at what they do, and that is making cameras. This 7.1 mega pixel camera comes with about 15 different modes of still picture capture. The camera adjusts the exposure and other factors automatically depending on the mode you select. The picture quality is also beyond awesome. The only issue I had with the camera was after about one year of usage the lens malfunctions. My agent said that its ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

Technical Jargon - 7.1 Megapixels - 3x optical zoom - lareg 6.2cm LCD moniter - Movie recording function with sound - Weatherproof. I purchased this camera on the advice of the sales assistant as I wanted something that took quality pictures but not at a price that costs the earth, im not that great with technology so also wanted something easy to navigate. I found that the camera takes a great picture and you can adjust the picture quality ...
...camera is great as it is bigger than most i have seen and i know i keep saying it but the picture quality is great. You can also take short video clips with sound on this camera depending on your memory card space and plug it into to your TV if desired. There are a few other features on the camera which you will probably hardly ever use like myself except for when you first buy the camera and you are playing around to see what features it has, ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

I bought this camera just before my recent trip to Las Vegas and didn't really have time to look through the manual before i used it. On the 11 hour flight out to Vegas, I went through the camera and found it was extremely easy to use. All the options were clear and it was able to successfully take all types of pictures. Night, day, the bright lights etc. the video function is also of fantastic quality and the software you receive to put the pictures ...
