Olympus mju 1030SW review

Olympus mju 1010 review
Another off the mju production line from Olympus, the compact 10-megapixel 1010 is slim and sleek, with good picture quality and reliable focus and exposure. The CCD-shift stabilisation works well -- this is particularly important with its impressive 7x optical zoom. Face detection is effective too, particularly with full-face portraits Read more

Olympus mju 850SW review
The 8-megapixel Olympus mju 850SW is a solid super-tough camera, which is waterproofed to 3m, freezeproofed for those extra cold conditions and rugged enough to withstand the impact if you accidently drop it. Its images are warmly coloured, while exposure and focus are excellent too Read more

Olympus mju Tough-6010 review
Ernest Shackleton would probably have been mightily taken with the shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof mju Tough-6010. Its picture quality isn't going to blow anybody's mind, but it looks smart, offers good value for money, and can withstand a fair degree of punishment Read more

Olympus mju 790 SW review
The Olympus mju 790 SW is a compact that loves the active life. Waterproof and shockproof, it doesn't forsake smooth styling to be robust, and while the toughness will hit you in the pocket, Olympus hasn't skimped on photo quality or features Read more
