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

...version cards are available at about £8.50 for a 1g) A 1g Xd card in the 1030SW set to max resolution gives you 205 shots. So seeing the Olympus 1030SW I was 1st drawn to its waterproof quality etc. I did read a review elsewhere that had example photos with it and the opinion was that image quality had been sacrificed for the robust build. Anyway I ordered one because at the end of the day it's better to have a camera that will work after a soaking than a better image-maker that does not. When it arrived I immediately fell in love with it. It has a weight that is just right (approx 200g with battery and card) and a size that is a lot more convenient than my Leica or Olympus E-510, just a bit bigger than a mobile phone. Also when using camera the lens does not stick out even when using the zoom, You can start producing pics...

Quality and Durability

Advantages: Range of colours; durable; SD card compatibility
Disadvantages: tiny integrated memory; lense in the top left so bigger hands might compromise pictures

...I first saw this product in the advert with the cute kid, trying his hardest to destroy the camera, even using the camera as a dog toy! I thought this is perfect for me as I do a lot of hiking and canoeing and I have a graveyard of digital cameras that have broken on my trips! Ok, to the actual product now, being a student with no fixed income, I initially thought the cost was a little on the highside. Then as in the past when you get a gadget that is meant to be "durable" the quality of what is supposed to do is compromised. However with the Olympus, this compromise does not occur, durablity and quality are assured and this justifies the cost. For you people who love your bright colours this camera comes in a wide range of colours, from yellow to blue or pink. There are a few disadvantages, firstly the integrated memory is tiny...

Review of Olympus FE-250

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

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...

Review of Olympus X-42

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...

LG KE850 Prada

Advantages: Looks, size, touchscreen
Disadvantages: Price

..., because the camera isn't covered so it's at risk of being scratched. When I first got the case it was really stiff and I had trouble getting it on and off and it kept pulling the protective film off my phone so I suggest squeezing and stretching it before putting it on the phone so the leather can give a little. ~~The Phone~~ Spec: LG KE850 PRADA • Dimensions: 54mm x 99mm x 12mm • 2 megapixel Camera • MP3 Player • FM Radio • Triband technology The phone looks really good, it's got a highly shiny black finish, with a silver band going round all the sides and silver buttons. It looks a lot bigger on your computer screen, so I was pleasantly surprised to find how slim it is. It only weighs 98grams, so it's also really light too. The screen takes up pretty much all of the phone, measuring 3 inch...

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...
