Olympus MJU 770 SW

Advantages: water-proof, drop-proof, shock-proof and takes great pictures
Disadvantages: lens in top left corner so wouldn't suit those with huge hands

...I bought this about 8 weeks ago from clickto.co.uk for just over £225 including delivery, and I haven't stopped smiling since it arrived The olympus MJU 770 SW is a fabulous camera in every way, it's small, light, waterproof, drop proof, and you can stand on it if you so wish as long as you are under 100 kilograms I bought it to travel with and spent many a happy day snorkelling in hurghada recently, it takes simply stunning underwater shots and I can not recommend it highly enough the batter life is very reasonable, shot time is quick, display bright and clear in fact the only negative point would only affect those with big hands, sometimes your finger may obscure the lens as it's in the top left corner so you need to be aware of finger placement but apart from that it's a fantastic camera and I can't see me changing mine...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 770 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

Not a bad buy, warning: prone to get lost

Advantages: Mostly, read the review
Disadvantages: some but please read the review

...WHY THE RACE FOR WIDE ISO AND MEGAPIXEL Before going into the main review of Olympus u[MJU:]SW 1050 let us first try to understand what is ISO settings and its relation to noise, shutter speed and size of image sensors. ISO sensitivity expresses the speed of photographic negative material, it is the ISO equivalent that is given since digital cameras do not use films but image sensors. In fact ISO denotes the sensitivity of the image sensor to the amount of light it is exposed to. Which gives a fair idea of the quality of pictures at low light. It affects the shutter speed/aperture combination that can be use to get the right exposer. It is quite possible that that digital camera light meter gives you a warning signal that the light is not good enough for correct exposer of the scene, you will more often than not grope...

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...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 725 SW

Olympus's Latest [Mju:] and it's a SCREAMER!!

Advantages: small and light, metal body giving a sophisticated look and feel, easy to operate, weather proof
Disadvantages: the memory card is different from my previous Olympus digital camera, image quality at dimly lit environment is somewhat questionable, software supplied not up to standard

...--INTRO ON THE MJU-- This camera is the latest from Olympus' "stylish" line of cameras and not surprisingly it's called [Mju:] 410. The previous models were the Mju300 and Mju400. In this review, I'm not going to dwell too much into the technical side, as I'm no expert myself. You can always get the full low-down of the spec from Olympus' official website at: http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/digimg/intro.cfm?id=%B5%5Bmju%3A%5D%20410%20Digital In the UK, the camera is launched around February 2004, and so far, a few website have been selling them at a price from £240 and above, although Amazon is selling the for £190.43, which I find it unbelievable if you search for Mju 410 in www.Amazon.co.uk. If this is really true, this camera will be the hottest property in the 4.0 mega-pixels range. My friend helped my to buy the camera...

Hello MJU!

Advantages: Lightweight camera
Disadvantages: None yet

...to cameras of the digital variety. So he told me to buy it myself as a family present rather than a personal one, and promptly handed over the cash. This was great as I still got proper presents and everything! I decided to wait until after Christmas, hoping that the sales would produce a suitable camera with a bit of money off to boot. So we eventually hit the sales on the Monday after Christmas. After fighting our way through Curry?s amongst angry looking customers with arms laden with cheap kettles and CD players we ran all the way to Jessops, which wasn?t so busy or filled with crazy bargain hunters. We met a very nice man in Jessops who pointed us in the right direction after giving him our budget and camera requirements. He showed us a variety of different cameras but as soon as I saw the Olympus  mju with 4m pixels, I...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 410 Digital

Child Friendly Camera, Ideal for Families!!

Advantages: Very strong and durable in all conditions
Disadvantages: A little pricey

...If you like digital camera's are into taking shots while on the move then the Olympus µ [mju:] 1030 SW is right up your alley. This new addition to the Olympus family is made specifically for the adventurer offering protection from water, and extreme weather conditions in addition to being extra tough it is also able to stand being dropped . The MRP price for the 1030 SW is £319.99 but if you shop around you should be able to find it a lot cheaper, I purchased mine from ebay for £119.99 The 1030 SW is primarily designed around seekers of adventure, however I've found it to be just as dependable for family use, let your kids loose with it and even if they drop it into the pool or a bowl of hot jelly a quick rinse and its as good as new. If like me you love to dive the 1030 SW lets you take some great snaps of underwater life...

Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

Advantages: Lightweight, robust, sexy looks, simple to use
Disadvantages: out of date in camera menu.

...Have owned the 700 for 6 months now and am overall very impressed. Its got all the features you need for a fun camera. 23 different "scenes" of which i only use 3 or 4 are very useful, meaning you dont have to fiddle around with different settings. Just choose the scene you are in, for instance 'nightime' and click away. The video function works well as well and as a budding golfer i have used the camera to take videos of my 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...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 700 Digital

MY MJU TOY IS A JOY!

Advantages: large viewfinder, decent battery life, user-friendly, many different modes
Disadvantages: no case provided, no memory card provided, screen prone to finger-prints

...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 manual has simple and clear diagrams as well as easy to follow instructions that all users, including children could follow without any problems. This is an all-weather camera so you can take it virtually anywhere, this is due to the rubber gaskets on the interior of the camera which ensure water can't get in and cause damage. However while the camera can easily survive a torrential...
