Olympus mju Tough-8000 review
If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast Read more

Olympus E-3 review
The long-awaited Olympus E-3 blasts on the dSLR scene with its feature-rich live view and a dust and splash-proof body. An unstoppable burst mode means it scores high for performance, and it certainly bowled us over with its professional, straightforward controls Read more

Olympus mju 5000 review
The 12-megapixel mju 5000 is an extremely stylish and well-made compact camera. With unusual but excellent controls, a 5x zoom and 8 frames per second shooting, it's also a pleasure to use and takes great pictures. We're not entirely sold on the supported memory-card formats though Read more

Olympus mju 9000 review
The 12-megapixel mju 9000 packs a 10x optical zoom into a body no bigger than that of the average compact camera, making it unusually pocket-friendly. It's also attractively finished, responsive and delivers good results, although it has a tendency towards overexposure Read more

Olympus mju 1030SW review
The Olympus mju 1030SW is a very tough and rugged 10-megapixel compact camera. It works to water depths of 10m, can be dropped from 2m and can even withstand a 100kg force. The camera takes great pics and is perfect for use in extreme conditions. Menus are easy to navigate Read more

Olympus SP-590 UZ review
As superzooms go, the SP-590 UZ, with a 26x wideangle zoom, offers one of the best combinations of price, features, performance and picture quality that we've seen so far. It won't replace a digital SLR but, if you're looking for an ultimate do-it-all compact, the SP-590's definitely worth a look Read more

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 E-620 review
The 12-megapixel E-620 is a solid and inexpensive entry-level digital SLR. Because it offers a host of advanced features and its interface is more complicated than it needs to be, some beginners might be put off. But those that persevere will be rewarded with good performance and picture quality Read more

Olympus Pen E-P2 review
The 12.3-megapixel Pen E-P2 Micro Four Thirds camera offers some worthwhile improvements over its E-P1 predecessor while retaining the same classic looks. It's more expensive than a similarly specified digital SLR, but there's no denying that the quality of its movies and photos is great Read more

Olympus E-510 review
If you're ready to move on from your compact to an SLR but not entirely ready to let go of the compact's framing style, the Olympus E-510 is your answer. Using a Live View LCD preview mode, it helps you gently make the transition. Loads of features will also help as you to bigger and better things Read more
