Olympus FE-5050 review

The Olympus FE-5050 is a low-cost, 14-megapixel point-and-shoot with a wild side. The camera's punk-effect filter may be an inspired flourish, but image quality is variable and critical sharpness mostly lacking. Read more

Olympus mju 1050SW review

The Olympus mju 1050SW is especially pretty for being waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof. It's quite astonishing that such an elegant camera should turn out to be so tough, but its small size and slippery finish limit its usefulness in the extreme environments it's so good at surviving Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 730 review

The Olympus mju 730 is a pretty camera with some impressive design aspects -- it has a slim, rectangular metal body with several striking characteristics that set it apart from other style-minded snapshot cameras -- however slow performance and image problems let it down somewhat Read more

Olympus FE-190 review

With a small frame and a smaller price tag, the Olympus FE-190 hopes to attract the fashionably frugal. This 6-megapixel digicam doesn't offer the manual controls more advanced photographers desire, but its other aspects make up for its automation, particularly its solid images Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 750 Digital review

The Olympus mju 750 Digital is a very strong point-and-shoot camera, though its attractive images are hindered by mediocre performance. It has no manual exposure controls and isn't as responsive as we would like, but as a general point-and-shoot camera, it's still a very good choice Read more

Olympus FE-170 review

Like its bigger brother, the Olympus FE-180, the FE-170 has a 6-megapixel sensor, the same 38mm-to-114mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens, and the same emphasis on simplified, automated photography. It basically runs on auto-pilot, which, although suiting some casual photographers, is likely to frustrate many users Read more

Olympus u [mju:] 720 SW review

The Olympus mju 720 SW is the most hardy µ to date. This ultracompact 7.1-megapixel camera is both shockproof and waterproof -- it can be safely dropped from heights up to 1.5m and is fully submersible up to 3m. Sleek, responsive and outfitted with image stabilisation, it makes a rugged and welcome travel companion Read more

Olympus FE-5500 preview hands-on

An ultracompact, 5-megapixel camera with a full metal body, a 51mm LCD and a 3x zoom lens, the Olympus FE-5500 also boasts a built-in help feature that gives you onscreen guidance as to which automated mode or feature to select. It's got stiff competition, but the sub-£200 price tag should help Read more

Olympus IR-300 review

The 5-megapixel IR-300 is a very compact, pocketable camera that aims to be simple and accessible. It's attractive and sensibly designed, but the smallish LCD, complicated menus, low-resolution 320x240-pixel movie mode and occasional problems with colour fidelity make it difficult to recommend Read more

Olympus u [mju:]-mini Digital S review

This update to the original sleek and sexy Olympus mju-mini Digital boasts 1 million more pixels and slightly improved performance, but it still suffers from average image quality, an anaemic electronic flash and a limited 2x zoom Read more
