Olympus Mju 1060 Digital Camera Review

The Mju 1060 is a recommendable little unit from the Olympus range that truly offers the complete package: 10 mega pixels, 7 times optical zoom, dual image stabilisation, 21 scene modes, in-camera editing capability, face detection and shadow...

A simple but helpful additional feature is the illumination of the function identifiers on the Mju 1060. When the camera is turned on, a function is accessed, or a shooting mode is changed, a green light shines through the majority of buttons making...

Olympus MJU 1060

Stylish compact camera with 7x optical zoom.

7x optical zoom with stabilisation, intuitive beginner modes, 3in display

High noise levels, slow shot-to-shot time, missing several key manual features

Olympus' MJU 1060 is a pretty decent beginner camera with its large screen and bevy of novice modes, but its images have some issues and it can be slow at times.

Olympus Mju 1060

Whether you're after a little sophistication or a simple camera, the Olympus Mju 1060 delivers both in a stylish package. Its long zoom range will give it a leg up on many 10-megapixel competitors in its price range too.

Stylish ; Easy to use ; Nice mix of auto and manual options ; Good 7x optical zoom

No wide-angle ; Slow between shots ; No optical viewfinder

Conclusion Whether you're after simple or a little sophistication, the Olympus Mju 1060 delivers both in a stylish package. Its long zoom range will give it a leg up on many 10-megapixel competitors in its price range too.

Olympus [mju:] 1060

Another trendy compact from Olympus, with a good range of features included on board

A great-looking camera with some standout features, but some little quirks let it down slightly. Performance is good overall, with plenty of functionality included

Olympus Mju 1060

Strong, simple and stylish, but is the price too high?

Build quality, image quality, lens

Menu system, low light performance, value

Although it is quite expensive, the Mju 1060 offers superior build quality, stylish appearance and simplicity of use, combined with very good image quality.

Olympus Mju Stylus 1060

The Olympus Mju 1060 is a very good camera - however it has some minor flaws - which if corrected would make this an excellent camera. One of the most obvious flaws with this camera was the lack of focus assist lamp - this meant that the camera would...
