Olympus SP-320 review

With Olympus's 7-megapixel models, the SP-320 and the SP-310, the company caters to the casual photographer who wants a camera with more manual options than are offered by entry-level point-and-shoot models. The only difference between the two is the digital image stabilisation available on the Olympus SP-320 Read more

Olympus FE-140 review

If you want a simple camera, look no further than Olympus's FE-series point-and-shoot models, which have no manual settings but offer low price tags and helpful features for photography newbies. The FE-140 offers a 6-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom and a 64mm LCD screen, but captures images that are mediocre at best 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 FE-210 review

The FE series of digital cameras are designed to be simple, direct and require almost no choices, besides when to press the shutter button. The 7-megapixel, 3x optical zoom FE-210 is no exception 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-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

The sleek but sturdy Olympus mju 1000 offers high-resolution images, a water-resistant metal body and a 64mm screen. This compact has some nice features and picture quality can be good, but noise issues and slow performance could mean poorer photos in low light Read more
