Olympus Stylus Verve S

 

The Olympus Stylus Verve S packs 5 million pixels of image resolution into its compact, durable, all-weather designer body, along with new features such as a calendar, album function and a histogram for enhanced usability.

Bottom line - the Stylus Verve S is a great choice for those with an active lifestyle who don't stop just because it starts raining. It's also good for the family or anyone that spends the day at the beach or a ski resort. With an MSRP of $299 it offers a

The Verve S is a beautiful camera; nothing more to be said. Its aesthetics are striking from first glance and they only grew on me. The promise of all weather performance only sweetened the deal further. But can the performance of this upgrade to the...

Olympus Mju Mini S review

 

The Mini S may be weatherproof and come in a variety of colours, but its 1.8in LCD and 15fps movie mode aren't a knock out

The Olympus Mju Mini S makes a unique style statement for the cost of an everyday budget snapper

Olympus Mju Mini S

 

A stylish, water-resistant ultracompact camera that produces average photos.

All-weather construction ; Stylish design ; Broad selection of scene modes

No optical viewfinder ; Zoom limited to 2X ; Slow autofocus in dim light ; Average image quality

Of course, the Mju Mini S doesn't have a lot of photo quality to spare, with a level of image detail that's just average for its ultracompact 5-megapixel class. We saw visual noise in our shots even at ISO 64, and ISO 400 is very noticeably noisy. JPEG...

Olympus Stylus Verve S

All-weather construction; stylish design; broad selection of scene modes.

No optical viewfinder; zoom limited to 2X; slow autofocus in dim light; average image quality.

A megapixel bump and improved performance update the original Verve, but this stylish camera retains its predecessor's limited zoom range and average image quality.

Olympus MJU Mini Digital S

 

Olympus MJU Mini Digital S Review. One of the smallest and neatest digital cameras on the market. You should have no problem fitting this camera into a very small pocket.

Natural colours ; Design and style

Red eye ; Shutter lag ; Short zoom capability

"The Olympus MJU Mini Digital S has a unique and very stylish design. This is backed up by the ability to take good photos. There are a couple of downsides to consider, shutter lag and only a 2x optical zoom lens."

For those of you that never have a camera when you need one, this little gem from Olympus may be just the thing you need! Small enough to go in a pocket or handbag and robust enough to survive in there, it produces surprisingly good pictures for it's...
