Olympus u [mju:]-mini Digital review
Reviews The Olympus µ-mini Digital's sexy design is sure to attract the attention of photographers using more conventional digital compacts, but so-so image quality and middle-of-the-road performance hamper this study in style over substance.

Olympus C-55 Zoom review
Reviews The Olympus C-55 Zoom is, above all, a good compact camera for the money. FeaturesThe Olympus C-55 Zoom follows in the Olympus C-series tradition, which means it packs plenty of advanced features into the body of a point-and-shoot camera.

Olympus SP-550 UZ review
Reviews We're less inclined to let Olympus off on the other specious marketing claims they associate with this camera, such as the supposed 15 frame per second burst rate and ISO 5000 sensitivity. Olympus is pushing that boundary, however, with its new 7.1...

Olympus FE-120 review
Reviews Although it lacks gor-blimey features and manual controls, the Olympus FE-120 offers budget-minded snapshot photographers decent image quality and a street price that qualifies as a genuine bargain for a 6-megapixel camera.

Olympus FE-210 review
Reviews Olympus realises just how hard choices can be, which is why it makes the FE series of digital cameras. Like all Olympus FE-series cameras, the FE-210 almost completely lacks manual settings. Image qualityUnfortunately for Olympus, the images from...

Olympus u [mju:] 770 SW review
Reviews Olympus' graphically driven menu system is intuitive. Olympus designed its 7.1-megapixel mju 770 SW to do just that, providing real competition for Pentax's waterproof Optio W30. By its tough nature alone, this Olympus makes an ideal choice if you...

Olympus u [mju:] 730 review
Reviews This minimalist control set is similar to the options found on Olympus' budget FE series of cameras. Aside from Simple Mode, the µ 730 doesn't differ very much from the other members of Olympus' µ family of point-and-shoot cameras.

Olympus u [mju:] 1000 review
Reviews You can't have everything, especially with Olympus compact cameras. The Olympus µ 1000 follows that trend -- it features a 10-megapixel sensor, but it isn't waterproof, its LCD screen is only 64mm (2.5 inches) and its meagre 3x, 35-to-105mm...

Olympus u [mju:] 750 Digital review
Reviews Olympus loves its µ line of cameras. If you want a µ but don't want to spend quite as much, the Olympus µ 740 Digital is nearly identical to the 750. That's certainly the case with the Olympus µ 750 Digital, a 7-megapixel snapshot camera with both...
