Olympus µ-mini DIGITAL S

...µ [mju:]-mini Digital S from Olympus is the one that I will review at this time, I bought it for the wife but I'm the one that uses it most of the time. Firstly I will give you a brief history of the Olympus company, they formed in 1919 and they started by making microscopes and thermometers. In 1936 the first Olympus camera called Semi-Olympus I was unveiled and then again in 1948 when Japan's first 35mm camera with a lens shutter system was introduced ...
...a biological microscope and the Olympus Pen half-frame camera. They have been involved in dozens of groundbreaking innovations since then, especially in the medical world, but have become well known world wide for the design, production and supply of top quality cameras. I have always had an Olympus camera, and others as well, but this latest one seems to have it all even though it is small it is packed with so much you just wonder where they put ...

Review of Olympus µ-mini DIGITAL S

...when told that my beloved Olympus camera had gone to the great camera heaven forever but that I could buy the same camera…only in digital format. Wahoo (I don't think) but as I needed a camera for my holiday which is only 2 weeks away WAHOO (and I really mean it this time) I felt I had no choice and, with that in mind, I hot-footed it back home. Firstly, I set about getting as much information as I could from the net, so I smurfed and smurfed and ...
...saving postage. I bought my Olympus mini mju 5 mega-pixel Pink Camera for £154.99 and was very pleased. (On the internet FotoSENCE can be found under their trade name.) "So what's in the box, Jim?" A gorgeous, pearly, metallic PINK Olympus mini mju. A Wrist strap. An Olympus 16Mb xD Card An Olympus Li-30B Li-Ion Rechargeable battery An Olympus Battery Charger Li-30C A USB Cable and an AV Cable (for connection to a computer and TV respectively) ...

...odd, but original shape, the Olympus µ[MJU:] mini is easy to hold. Overall the camera has a decent picture quality, complex but easy to use menu, great accessiblity to the computer, helpful software, fair price, but in places it is glitchy. I recommend this camera to beginners and people who just want to get the feel of photography. ...

Review of Olympus µ-mini DIGITAL S

After owning this camera for 3 months (including heavy Christmas usage), I would be happy to recommend this camera to anyone looking for a small/compact, high definition, stylish camera. Behind that beautiful glimmering tungsten skin lies a very capable and intelligent camera. 5 megapixels is by far more than enough than the average user will ever need for a 6X4 or 7X5 picture at their local Boots. This camera is just amazing at delivering high ...
...camera phones, which seem to take forever to capture a picture). This camera also comes packed with other very useful settings, all of which capture and emphasise different colours to produce a vibrant array of pictures and images. It also has olympus's panorama feature which allows you take multiple pictures and print them out as one so that it seems like one continuous image. On the downside, the buttons at the back quite hard to presh especially ...

Review of Olympus µ-mini DIGITAL S

I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a cheap camera, easy to use with fairly good amount of pixels. The menu is easy to navigate, it is easy to download images to a computer, watch through the tv, print off etc. The camera is changed through the modes of camera/video and play via the scroll wheel at the top. It is small enough to fit in your pocket and comes with a carry strap. Battery life is good and normally lasts a good few hours ...

...I would look at one that includes two rechargeable batteries, or takes normal AA or AAA batteries that I can get hold of easily at work or on holiday. I would buy another Olympus u-mini camera. In fact, I am tempted by the 8megapixel one that is now available... ...

Review of Olympus µ-mini DIGITAL S

By all accounts a wonderful little camera. I own this in blue but it comes in a range of colours including pink, black, silver and white, all of which are very girly and handbag friendly. It also comes in 4 or 5 megapixles. The camera reminds me of a shark (maby im going a bit mad) and the design is very sleek. This camera is ideal for amateur photographers and owing to its compact and durable nature I wouldn’t want any other camera. If I have ...
...to be 8 megapixles as when taking pictures of small objects with zoom they have a strong tendency to blur. On the plus side even my mother who suffers a little technological illiteracy seems to be able to work all functions it has to offer without reading the instructions . And there are a lot of functions including both ‘firework’ and a ‘through glass’ modes. There is also the option to purchase optional extras for this camera for example a waterproof ...

Review of Olympus µ-mini DIGITAL S

This is a fantastic camera! I bought it for my girlfriend who is'nt too savvy when it comes to technology. Its extremely easy to use with a good menu system, provides quick results with its auto settings (It also has many more functions and settings to play with if you want to control the settings manually). Very good build quality, very compact and sturdy . Look wise it is a very nice object, small and different. It also comes in a range of colours ...
...pink! One downside is that there is no viewfinder, which means you have to use the preview lcd screen all the time so battery life is not brilliant, so i'd recommend carrying around a spare. Saying that the battery does recharge quickly. all in all a very good user friendly camera, with unique looks suityable for anybody. ...

Review of Olympus µ-mini DIGITAL S

I bought this camera last October and I must say it has done me proud. If your a girl it fits in to your bag which is a must! The quality of prints are excellent although it is a 5m pixel they have excellent colour quality. It's simple and easy to use and the viewing screen is big compared to other makes. The lens cover is good as you don't have to have a case for it. I have taken it skiing, on beach holidays, to concerts etc and haven't had a single ...
...the sunset funtion, the colours were just right . The video funtion is also good as you can record up to about 15 mintues with fairly good sound. The zoom isn't great but for under £150 this is for me a fun camera. The lithium battery means your not wasting money on normal batteries and it lasts a good length of time, also small enough to carry a back-up if you need it. For value for money, size and ease of use this is a definate. The fact that it ...

Review of Olympus µ-mini DIGITAL S

Its a neat little camera, i like it a lot, its nice an small, and produces good pictures (5 mega pixels), and it also has lots of options for taking pictures in different conditions. I mainly use it as a point and click camera, on the automatic setting, as it does pretty well on that, but it does have different profiles you can use, such as behind glass, fireworks, candlelight, cuisine, portrait and landscape. I've used the behind glass quite a bit, ...
...It is a bit of a pain to change the settings though, as it is done with the software, rather than with a button on the side. I use mine a lot on nights out, and have found the flash to be very good. It does produce some blurry shots, but i have got a lot of good drunken pictures whilst out. Its so handy to stick in your pocket or little tiny bag, and does hold up to some punishment. I haven't spilled anything on it yet, but i have dropped it on the ...
