Olympus µ(mju: )-mini Digital S Review at CNET

Olympus µ(mju: )-mini Digital SCNET have published their review of the Olympus µ(mju: )-mini Digital S, a 5 megapixel digital camera with 2x optical zoom lens equivalent to 35-70mm (also known as the Olympus Stylus Verve S).

“Of course, the Verve S doesn’t have a lot of photo quality to spare, with a level of image detail that’s just average for its ultracompact 5-megapixel class. We saw visual noise in our shots even at ISO 64, and ISO 400 is very noticeably noisy. JPEG artifacts also obscured details a bit, and we saw some moderate purple fringing around backlit objects. It seemed to be easier to blow out highlights with this camera, even if exposures were otherwise spot-on. While colors were fairly accurate and well saturated, this camera’s red-eye preflash did little to prevent glowing red pupils.”
