Simple Is Best Sometimes

Advantages: High Quality Lens and Small Size
Disadvantages: Lens Cover Closes Too Easily

Review of Olympus µ II Compact Camera

A little old now but still excellent! and only £80

Advantages: Stylish, compact, lightweight, excellent results
Disadvantages: Slightly dated now
