Olympus Mju Stylus 740 Review at DigiCam Review

Digicam Review has reviewed the Olympus Mju Stylus 740 where they give it a rating of 'above average' and write - "The Olympus Stylus / Mju 740 has a lot going for it, particularly the 5x optical zoom lens and ultra compact weather proof body. The camera would be especially suited to someone who wants to take their camera with them in all weathers. The solid build of this camera is likely to make it last well, and makes it good value for money. Image quality was generally good, although slightly under-saturated for some people's tastes, and images can be slightly soft. Noise was quite well controlled although worse indoors. The camera is very easy to use and there are a lot of features built in to help get better results, such as the digital image stabilisation and numerous scene modes."

Olympus Stylus 1000 Digital Camera Review

Digital Camera Review has posted their review of the Olympus Stylus 1000 where they write - 'Image quality on the Stylus 1000 was good, and in my opinion, slightly better than the Stylus 750. The images were sharper and didn’t have the corner softness that I noticed with the Stylus 750’s images. However, colors and exposure were generally good. I highly recommend that you examine the sample images from our review and other reviews to form your own opinion. The speed of the camera was pretty average. Personally, I don’t really worry too much about start-up time, but it was around 2 seconds. Shot to shot time without flash was about 2 seconds. If you turn on the flash, you’ll have to wait a couple more seconds between shots for the flash to charge. Shutter lag was quick enough to capture the moment, but only if you achieve a focus lock first. Without a partial press first, shutter lag is around 0.6 to 0.8 seconds or so.'

Olympus FE-170

Cameras.co.uk reviews the Olympus FE-170 and writes - 'Despite having limitations in certain key areas the FE-170 manages to perform better than I had expected it to in others. Without doubt it is best suited to standard outdoor scenic shots in good light. When the light gets low the FE-170 starts to struggle quite quickly. Plus points showing up in the outdoor scenic shots include levels of sharpness and the way the camera handles light coloured areas. When it comes to sharp images this camera manages to outperform many more expensive digital cameras. The images are not pin sharp, but they are good enough to produced crisp 7 x 5" prints. The FE-170 also does a fairly good job of retaining sharpness up to the edge of a photo. '
