Olympus Mju Stylus Tough 6000 Review

Imaging Resource have reviewed the new Olympus Mju Stylus Tough 6000 - a compact 10 megapixel camera, with a wide angle 3.6x optical zoom lens, 2.7" screen, image stabilisation, tap controls and tough credentials, namely it's shockproof to 1.5m, waterproof to 3m, and feezeproof to -10. It is available in lime, blue, orange, and silver for £189:

"The Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 competes well in many areas against other rugged/waterproof camera models. We think our sample had a tilted sensor chip, as its images were very soft in one corner, the softness extending far into the frame. Were it not for that particular defect, its image quality was competitive in the category. It's also stylish, combines ruggedness with a waterproof rating of 10 feet, and it offers optical image stabilization as well."

It is available in blue, black, and silver for £217 from Amazon:

"It's rated to 10 meters, or 33 feet, without a case, making it just as pressure resistant as the Powershot D10. And there's a 30 meter case, optional, for deeper excursions, too, which the Canon doesn't have. It is the only periscoping internal zoom lens with a mechanized metal cover."

Ultra Cool Compact Digital Cameras I Miss...

The Olympus Mju Mini Digital. Perhaps the best designed, and best looking digital camera of all time? With a small, stylish, smooth metal body, awesome sliding lens cover, and gorgeous gunmetal mode dial, it certainly looked awesome, especially when available in striking colours. Announced in September 2004, previewed and reviewed by us, it featured a 4 megapixel sensor, a 2x optical zoom lens, and a 1.8" screen. It was followed up by the Olympus Mju Mini Digital S - in 2005 - which had a 5 megapixel upgrade and more subtle colours, we wonder why the camera was killed off so soon? Especially when it could have evolved into this wooden digital camera!

The Sony Cybershot L1 from 2005, reviewed here, was quite advanced for it's time featuring a VGA 30fps video mode, a 4mp sensor, and 3x optical zoom lens. This camera went with me everywhere, for a very long time, it was a "True pocket camera", shaped like a mars bar, it had a reassuringly thick metal outer shell that survived many scratches and knocks (until it sadly died). Even though it only had a tiny 1.5" screen, it could take great colourful photos, and I especially liked the 3:2 aspect ratio mode, and lens flare. I waited patiently for it's replacement, but the closest I came to finding it was the Canon Digital IXUS i7 Zoom which is no longer available.

The Casio Exilim S100, also from 2005, reviewed here, with only 3 megapixels, and a 2.8x optical zoom, it may not seem very exciting, but it was the world's first (and only?) digital camera with a "ceramic lens", this camera was not only exciting because it was slim (at 16.7mm thin), but also because it had a great metal body. It was fun too with face joining best shot mode (coupling shot, which is now missing from Casio cameras), it survived many trips around Europe, and had an impressively tough case available for it as an optional extra. Photos were quite colourful too.

We've just published our review of the new Olympus Mju Stylus Tough 8000 - a compact 12 megapixel camera, with a wide angle 3.6x optical zoom lens, 2.7" screen, image stabilisation, tap controls and tough credentials, namely it's shockproof to 2m, waterproof to 10m, crushproof, and feezeproof to -10. It is available in blue, black, and silver for £250 from Amazon:

"The camera has quite rich, saturated, pleasing colours. There was good detail, and the camera took a number of pleasing images outside, with good contrast, with little or no chromatic aberations and purple fringing. In general 'normal' quality jpeg artefacts are not easily seen, however areas with strong contrasts benefit from use of the highest quality setting. Images are slightly soft, with some slight corner softness, but nothing too worrying."

"The Olympus Mju 9000 is a sensibly designed and well made camera with a very useful zoom range. It is easy to use, performs well and produces good results in most situations. However the lack of some important features such as an AF assist lamp or any colour adjustments limit its appeal somewhat, especially considering the relatively high price."

The camera is available in Silver, Black and Green for £180:

"The Olympus Mju 1060 is a compact 10 megapixel camera with a huge 7X optical zoom lens which is something you wouldn’t expect in a camera this size. There’s a sizable 3 inch LCD on the back along with backlit buttons and an ISO range which reaches 6400 which makes it SOUND like a good low-light camera. Unfortunately, the reality is that the Mju 1060 produces good quality photos up till ISO 400 (ISO 800 if you’re willing to push it) and struggles to even focus in low-light."

"The 1050 SW doesn’t mess too much with a winning formula, taking the earlier 850 SW, slightly boosting its resolution and screen size, while adding tap controls. That’s essentially about it though, and while it may have been sufficient without serious competition, Pentax has really taken the bull by the horns with its latest Optio W60."

Olympus Mju Stylus 1050SW Review

Buy-n-shoot 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 £186

"The latest edition to the range, the Tough Smart 1050SW, is certainly no exception. If the 10.1 mega pixels, 3 times optical zoom and built-in digital image stabilisation isn’t enough to steal your initial interest, then certainly the 3 meter waterproof, 1.5 meter shockproof, and minus 10 degree snowproof capabilities will be."

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."

Olympus Mju Stylus 1050SW Review

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."

"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."
