Olympus Mju Mini Digital
(Olympus Stylus Verve in the USA)
Review Date: February 7th 2005
Introduction
Presenting the Olympus Mju Mini Digital / Olympus Stylus Verve: on paper, a compact digital camera with 4 megapixels, 2x optical zoom lens that's equivalent to 35-70mm on a 35mm camera, 1.8 inch LCD monitor, all housed in a weather-proof metal body. So far, so run-of-the-mill. Lots of other digital cameras offer a similar if not better specification at the same pricepoint, so why should you consider the Olympus Mju Mini Digital / Olympus Stylus Verve? Take it out of the box and you soon see why - Olympus have designed one of the most stylish compact digicams on the market today. The Olympus Mju Mini Digital / Olympus Stylus Verve looks breath-taking in all the glossy product shots and thankfully it doesn't disappoint by being just as eye-catching in real life, with an anodised finish in iPod-like colours and that curved end which has never been seen before in the photography world. Your friends will definitely be impressed, but in the long-run will you? Is the Olympus Mju Mini Digital / Olympus Stylus Verve a case of style over substance, or is there a great digital camera underneath all that designer styling waiting to get out and impress too?
Carry on reading to discover the answer.
