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 FE-240 review
The attractive, compact Olympus FE-240 makes life a lot simpler by automating almost all of its settings. Its images are actually reasonably good, with accurate colours and very little lens distortion, but it is exceedingly slow Read more

Olympus X-880 review
For a sub-£100 camera, the metal-bodied, 8-megapixel X-880 feels sturdy, looks smart, and takes clear, crisp pictures. Although the menu system is quirk-ridden, the snappy autofocus and 5x optical zoom make this a speedy point-and-shoot compact camera for undemanding users Read more

The Olympus mju 830 is no fair-weather friend. Its sturdy metal body with rubber seals means it's splashproof, and while you won't want to take it swimming, it can certainly withstand the weather. There's a wealth of scene modes available, helping to tick all the point-and-shoot boxes Read more

Olympus FE-200 review
The 6-megapixel Olympus FE-200 boasts the nicest lens in its series, with a wide 28mm-to-140mm zoom. A digital image stabilisation mode helps reduce shaking when zooming in but the wait of 7.3 seconds between shots may frustrate some users Read more

Olympus Stylus mju 780 review
A couple of nice touches help to elevate the retro-styled Olympus Stylus mju 780 above 7-megapixel, 64mm LCD mediocrity. It offers 5x optical zoom, unusual in a camera of this class, and mechanical image stabilisation to cope with it, plus it's weatherproof Read more

Olympus VG-170 review
A 14-megapixel camera for just £80? Despite a few neat features, the Olympus VG-170 has made too many compromises to hit that price. Read more
