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...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 1050 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...

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 FE-250

A poor offering from Olympus

Advantages: Takes AAA batteries and....er.....er...hmmmm.... takes AAA batteries
Disadvantages: Awful screen, not user friendly, feels cheap and nasty, made out of inferior materials etc. etc.

...I needed a new digital camera and fast and only having the ability to get to Argos (because of the late night opening times) the camera had to be available from Argos. The other criteria I set included a minimum of 12 mega pixels, face detection, a large screen, powered by AAA batteries and costing no more than £100. With the large number of cameras satisfying my criteria I thought I would have no problems in finding something suitable, it?s just a shame the Argos in Norwich is so poor and seems to have very little stock, so my choice was limited. Since my first and second choices were out, I only had the option of three other models and the one I decided upon (without doing any research whatsoever) was the Olympus X-42. I had previously owned an Olympus and I was more than happy with it. I knew the Olympus brand and knew...

Sleek and sexy OLYMPUS

Advantages: Great image Quality, terrific design, very easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...This Olympus FE-5000 with Resolution: 10 Megapixels, Optical Zoom: 5x and LCD: 2.7" with 16 shooting modes is a remarkable piece of equipment. it is sleek and stylish and will fit easily in your pocket.This is one of the cheaper digital cameras from the world famous brand. It has a great lens, which really helps in low light conditions. Its lens can capture light very efficiently. flash is pretty powerful for its size. Overall i would say if you have the budget to get one of these and you don't want to compromise the quality of your pictures, don't hesitate just go for it. Here's something that might interest you: All shutter delay times were about standard. A single photo took 0.32 seconds while five clocked 15.08 seconds. With flash, times were 0.55 seconds for one photo and 16.09 seconds for five. That's pretty good wouldn...

Pink Samsung S1050

Advantages: Picture & Video Quality
Disadvantages: Needs quality batteries

...When it came to buying a new Digital Camera I didn't know where to start. I knew I needed more pixels, more features and something more attractive (yes I sadly take appearance into account). I was shopping with my sister in Argos and had a brief glance at the camera section. I had been pondering which camera to buy for quite some time prior to this. So it was by chance that I stumbled upon the Samsung S1050 that day. I admit it was the Pink colour that intially grabbed my attention, however the features listed seemed perfect for what I needed out of a digital camera. 10 Megapixels 5 x Optical Zoom 5 x Digital Zoom 2.5" TFT Screen Auto, Auto and Red-eye reduction Variuous Flash Settings Maximum Image Size 3648 x 2736 Pixels 800 x 600, 30fps Movies MMC Memory Card with 45MB Internal memory So I hummed and harred...
