Olympus Mju Stylus 1060 Review

Cameras.co.uk have reviewed the new Olympus Mju Stylus 1060 - an ultra compact 10 megapixel sensor, 7x optical zoom lens, 3" screen, dual image stabilisation, face detection, shadow adjustment, intelligent auto mode, XD and Micro SD support. The camera is available in Silver, White, Pink and Blue for £199:

"When it comes to picture quality, shutter design and the majority of features the MJU 1060 is a fairly typical point and shoot digital camera. The main attraction is the 7x optical zoom lens in a compact body. This is a very handy feature in a smaller digital camera."

Cameras.co.uk have reviewed the new Olympus Mju Stylus 1050SW - the ultra compact 10 megapixel camera is waterproof to 3m, shockproof to 1.5m, freezeproof to -10c, and features a 3x optical zoom lens, face detection, shadow adjustment, perfect shot preview, and 2.7" screen. It is available in black, gold, silver, pink and blue for £209

"Without doubt the main attraction of the Olympus MJU 1050SW is its robustness. If you are looking for a family camera or just one you can use around the pool and on ski slopes then the picture quality is fine for snapshots. It is a concern that the camera is so slow to take a photo and this could certainly cause you to miss photo opportunities."

"A fantastic camera? No, but the Olympus MJU 1040 puts up a solid showing. The camera is one of the best looking at this price point and will slip easily into a pocket. Picture quality could go up a notch or two here and there, but I think this camera offers fair value for money."

"Overall, I found the Olympus Mju1040 to be great value, feature rich and very high in resolution for the relatively cheap price tag. Most people will find the camera’s styling quite appealing whilst also having a little fun when using the mirror finish on the front sliding panel as a handy help for framing for party headshots or just whacking on a little bit of lippy in the reflection."

"Unfortunately, maybe the Stylus 1040 is too 'social event' oriented, in my opinion, that it forgets about other things in life. It lacks full-resolution 10 MP continuous shooting; although that's compensated with a VERY fast 14 FPS burst mode (only at 3 megapixels, mind you). The below average battery life means you won't be taking the camera on long holiday trips without an extra battery and the charger."

"Although the mju 850 SW continues the rugged tradition of its predecessors, with bomb-proof build quality, attractive design and excellent overall performance, its restricted zoom range and limited list of features are starting to look a bit dated in today’s market."

"The Olympus 1030 SW is both a treat and a disappointment. We love the idea of a camera we can mistreat in a wide range of difficult shooting situations without having to worry about babying our gear. It's small and portable enough to go where an SLR would be a burden, and easy to handle quickly, even if you're wearing gloves (we tried) or warding off barracuda (we didn't, but we're confident nonetheless). And while image quality wasn't stellar, it was certainly acceptable for a compact camera."

"This tough little point-and-shoot camera can withstand conditions -- and handling -- that would wreak havoc with other cameras. The Olympus Stylus 1030SW also offers a nice selection of features that are helpful for novices and snapshooters. You won't find the best image quality, although if you don't look too closely you'll be happy with prints up to 8x10 inches at lower ISOs; and you can still get decent 5x7's as long as you don't go above ISO 800."

DCResource have reviewed the new Olympus Mju Stylus 1030SW - a compact 10 megapixel digital camera that is shockproof to 2 metres, waterproof to 10 metres, crushproof to 100kg, dustproof, scratchproof and freezeproof. It also features a wide angle 3.6x optical zoom lens, 2.7" screen, 24 scene modes, and VGA movie mode at 30fps. It is available in black, silver and green from £215:

"How one rates the Olympus Stylus 1030SW depends on how you view it. If you view it as an ultra-compact camera, it's average, at best. However, your typical ultra-compact can't take nearly the beating that the 1030SW can. It can be dropped, dunked in water, stepped on, and frozen, without missing a beat. If you need a camera that can handle those sort of things, then you'll have to be willing to accept the 1030SW's tradeoffs -- namely, mediocre image quality."

"Overall, operating the Mju 1020 is delightfully straightforward (particularly if you have smaller hands) meaning that taking, reviewing, sorting, editing and deleting photos is a breeze, as too is selecting and using the various modes available. In-built technologies ensure that point-and-shoot operation is virtually failsafe so for those wanting to let the camera do the majority of the work, the Mju 1020 is bound to suit."
