Written on: 04/08/2008

Olympus MJU Mini Review - I have one of these to compliment my DSLR, which as good as it is, is just sometimes too big to lump around. If you want something small & lightweight to stick in your bag or jacket pocket then this is the little chap for you. The pictures are fantastic. It has many settings and you should never be stuck when it comes to choosing the right setting for the right occasion.
The 'serious' photographer may want more toys to play with, but for the hobbyist & general... (read more)

Written on: 02/04/2006 by jarnartharn (37 reviews written)

I was mooching through a camera shop during the January sales for an over-sized, over priced, all singing, all dancing camera. Somehow I ended up with a tiny little Olympus thingy, and boy am I glad that my girlfriend talked me into buying it. If you're into serious photography look elsewhere, but if you want to take basic photo's without all of that technical jargon, but still have a high quality picture at the end, the Olympus Mju Mini is the digital camera for you.

It has loads of... (read more)

Since I have a rather large lumbering Fuji digital camera, I decided I needed a small good quality camera that I could slip into my pocket. The Olympus Mju Mini fitted the bill perfectly.
Firstly the metal shell is tough, but it won't shrug off damage as well as a polycarbonate shell, e.g. I dented the metal shell (which wouldn't have happened with my polycarbonate Fuji), falling into the cellar (ahem), which wouldn't have happened with my polycarbonate Fuji.
They use the term... (read more)

Ok, I just bought an Olympus Mju; Mini last month and I really LOVE it! It has all the things I wanna have: good picture quality, good screen... all the thing in good points. It's really easy to use. It took me only half an hour to get used to it!

it's small enough to fit my pocket. I can carry it all the time. That's wonderful.

The design is the thing which I shouldn't mention here cuz it won a design award.

Everything is nearly perfect but I hate the video recording function. It gives... (read more)

Written on: 11/01/2005 by merlynreid (1 review written)

After having an Olympus 35mm camera for many years I was unwilling to have any other make of digital - you just cannot beat the lenses on Olympus. So when I got a Mju Mini for Christmas - WOW.
A small, light sexy beast - intuative to use, good display and handling. The only thing I miss is the view finder! (read more)

  • 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.

    • Did we mention the way it looks?

    • Modes - Auto activation in low and backlight, red-eye reduction, fill-in - forced activation.
