Olympus Stylus 400 review

 

Olympus Stylus 400

Sleek, ultracompact design and solid construction; weather-resistant casing; included wireless remote.

Handles image highlights poorly; inaccurate autofocus in dim light.

This camera's impressive all-weather body doesn't make up for its inconsistent images.

Olympus Stylus 400 Digital Camera Camera

 

WHAT'S HOT: A 1-megapixel upgrade of the 3.2-megapixel Stylus 300 Digital camera that we reviewed in March, the Stylus 400 is functionally identical to its predecessor. Like the 300, the Stylus 400 is light, slim, handsome, and very durable looking....

Like the Stylus 300, the 400 comes with a separate battery charger that has a built-in voltage converter. If you want to plug power from an outlet directly into the camera, you have to buy a separate AC adapter

Olympus Stylus Digital 400

 

For 2003 Olympus takes their best-selling 35mm point-and-shoot film camera series and adapts them for today's digital consumers. The new Stylus Digital line of cameras are stylish, ultra-compact, weather resistant and very easy to use. The first members o

The bottom line - we're impressed with this camera. It's built like a tank, albeit a small tank, it takes great pictures, it's stylish, it's compact and maybe the most important thing, it's reasonably priced. You need to add two things to complete the pur

March 1, 2008 Olympus has crammed a 7 X optical zoom lens into an ultra-compact body in the latest addition to the Stylus (or "Mju"depending on where you are in the world) line of digital cameras. <a href="/olympus-stylus-digital-compact-camera/8904/"

Olympus Stylus 400 Digital

 

The Stylus 400 is the only compact, weatherproof camera out there, so there's no real competition. How does the Stylus do against other compact 4MP cameras? Find out now

Small, sturdy, well-designed metal body -- weatherproof too ; Good photo quality for a small camera ; Includes remote control ; Robust performance ; Good playback, scene modes ; Optional underwater case

No AF illuminator ; Images on the noisy side ; No manual controls ; Would've liked an "action" scene mode ; Poor movie mode ; Skimpy 16MB memory card included ; Battery door needs a lock ; Manual is on CD

Like its 3.2 Megapixel sibling, the Olympus Stylus 400 is a very nice point-and-shoot compact camera with a twist -- it's weatherproof. The 400 offers very good photo quality, an easy-to-use interface, responsive performance, an included remote...
