Olympus SP-570UZ Compact Digital Camera - Black ( 10.1 MP, 20x Optical Zoom) 2.7" LCD

from: Olympus

January 24, 2008
After much research and reading of reviews, I bought this to replace a 5-year old Nikon Coolpix 5700 that had finally given up the ghost after being round the world and taking 10000 pictures. I was pleased with the results from the old Nikon, but the Olympus is, on first impression, far superior.

You are probably going to buy this Olympus because of the massive size of the zoom. It has double the resolution and 2.5 times the optical zoom of my old Nikon. The Olympus has a massive 20x zoom, and for a camera that is 5 years more advanced you would expect some huge improvements in performance. The zoom operates by a ring on the lens, like an SLR, which drives the motor. One reviewer I read suggested that this seems slow, but I am happy ... Read More:

Olympus CS 113 - Case for digital voice recorder

from: Olympus


A stylish little cover - but once on you can't get to the power button (on/off switch) so you have to keep taking it off (by first removing the stereo speaker attachment) in order to start the machine and throughout its use unless you leave it on standby. Major design flaw.

Olympus Mju 840 Digital Camera - Starry Silver (8.0MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 2.7" LCD

from: Olympus

This camera is the lightest and smallest camera I have owned so far. It has features I find very useful, for example the shoot and choose function is great for shooting action shots.
It will easily fit in a largish shirt's lapel pocket. It starts up quickly for those moments when you need a camera bit quick.
I have only given it 3 stars though because the picture quality is only average. It may be 8 megapixel but I think I was achieving better pictures with my Canon a70 3.2 megapixel camera 5 years back or more. There is considerable noise in most pictures. Colour leakage around things and lndscape pictures seem a little flat.
But if you want a well made, lightweight camera at a reasonable price you'd do well to consider this.

Olympus Mju 1010 Digital Camera - Starry Silver (10.1MP, 7x Optical Zoom) 2.7" LCD

from: Olympus

Dissapointed with the quality of photos. Comparing the 1010 to its previous model, 840 - there was a big difference in quality of photos. 1010 was blurry around the edges and 840 was crisp. This is the disadvantage of having all the extra's packed into a compact camera- however, you would think that Olympus make the newer model atleast of the same quality. Fine for regular photos, but as soon as you want to do some cropping and blowing photos to larger sizes, sacrifice quality a great deal. I find the 840 the better option, or even sharper photos are produced by Casio. Can't comment on other brands of camera's, as I haven't used them as yet. I would recommend you try it out in the shop first, and make a decision.
