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 FE-180 review

Olympus's 6-megapixel FE-180 is a rare example of a camera with a well-built automatic system -- there are hardly any manual controls, but it still takes a decent image. Basically, the camera runs almost completely on autopilot. It's just the thing for a casual photographer on a budget Read more

Olympus IR-500 review

The IR-500 may be a limited digicam, with only a 4-megapixel sensor and a 2.8x optical zoom lens, but it presents its captured pictures and video on its lovely 64mm LCD in a bewildering variety of ways -- it has nine PowerPoint-like transition effects, including zoom, faders, swivels and Venetian blinds and sorted by shooting date as a visual diary Read more

Olympus C-770 Ultra Zoom review

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 u [mju:] Digital 800 review

With 8 megapixels, aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls and a top-notch built-in help guide, the compact, 3x-zoom mju Digital 800 sits solidly at the top of Olympus' weather-resistant-camera lineup. It's also one of the smallest and most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market Read more

Olympus mju Tough-3000 review

The 12-megapixel mju Tough-3000 compact camera offers a good combination of features, durability, convenience and affordability. As with most rugged cameras, you won't get exhibition-quality prints from the 3000, but adrenaline junkies should give it a perusal 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 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 mju Tough-6000 review

The 10-megapixel mju Tough-6000 is a perfectly normal-looking, pocket-sized compact that just happens to be able to survive extraordinary amounts of abuse. Happily, its rugged nature doesn't detract from its photo quality or practicality either, making the 6000 extremely difficult to dislike Read more
