Verdict of Olympus MJU Mini
The Bigger Picture
- You will certainly stand out from the crowd with one of these tiny striking cameras.
- The Olympus Mju-Mini Digital S was awarded the Digital Imaging Websites Awards Design Award.
- This ultra small camera the size of a thumb fits in your pocket but its compact shape encased in a single sheet of sculpted metal helps ensure its durability.
- Combining a sliding lens barrier that swiftly retracts into the body while the zoom is extended this is an ergonomically brilliant and daring design.
- But there is more to it than just looks and feel.
- The Mini S carries a decent lens and pixel capacity and in tests has proven to be a winner in both close up and panoramic shots for typical use.
- Olympus Mju Mini S is a highly recommended camera for those who prioritise portability and design while wanting to bag some good pictures.
