    Good Points: Compact (small enough to put in a pocket) with good feel Showerproof with metal body 3x optical zoom Effective 4x digital zoom Neat photo review with zoom Easy to use Supplied PC software works well (if a little slowly - 700MHz Athlon)

    Bad Points: Deleting images on the camera is a little tedious (but OK via PC link) LCD display not really useable for composition in bright sunlight

    General comments: The Olympus Mju-300 is the first digital camera that I have owned (have used them for work over the last 7 years or so). Completely blown away by the picture quality, even with the digital zoom provided camera shake is absent (it is equivalent to a 400mm conventional lens, after all!). I couldn't really justify a higher pixel count before I bought it - definitely can't now. Battery life seems OK (2 days of use - 100 shots + review / replay for friends) - probably the most flakey bit - a spare battery might be on my Xmas list.

    Genesis Communications - What a camera!! Very sturdy and takes a real beating, good for a family camera that is going to be used a lot. Easy to use menu and with XD memory slot it has the possibly the best storage medium to save your pictures to. This camera looks amazing and has the performance to match.

    This Olympus Mju-300 is typical Olympus quality with a superb lens, the program selection requires some study to master all the available modes, but once mastered this digital camera gives sharp pics which are easily blown up to A4. The default setting on opening the shutter slide gives you instantly available standard point and shoot pics which also are sufficient quality to enlarge to A4. An all round delight to use

    The Olympus Mju-300 Digital Camera is very attractive and this is what gives it a head start over other cameras in its category,saying that its a very capable compact camera with the ever reliable olympus lens,3x optical zoom and at 3.2mp you'll have no trouble printing A4 enlargements,the shots ive taken with natural light are crisp and clear and of a very high standard,for shots needing flash there is a choice of different settings which are easy to access within the digital interface.The lens ...

    I first toyed with the idea of part exing my Minolta 404SI, lenses and flash, but decided to keep them and buy an average Digital. My budget was £200 and I was advised 3MP was ample for a first digital camera. I bought this Olympus Mju-300 digital camera four days ago in Jessops after much research through magazines & web sites. It was a toss up between this and a Canon A70. The Olympus won on build quality and pocketability. The Canon battery cover was very flimsy, plus reports on your p ...

    Have had this camera about a week and havent been able to put it down. Aside from it looking absolutely fabulous!!! (doesnt help taking pictures but doesnt half get people admiring), pictures are very easy to take and modify to suit....remote control and timer easy to use! menu option simple and understanable...a joy to own and use in short. Pity it didnt come with a carry case to protect, ah well only real complaint i have, fabulous quality for the money! would advise anyone to buy one
