Advantages: Variation of modes
Disadvantages: Only 4MP
This sleek designed camera is one of those gadgets that you want to have, like the iPod. Although it has a fairly small number of pixels, the quality is almost unbeatable.
For a small price, this camera packs a large 8x digital zoom and a 2x optical zoom which maintain the quality when enlarged.The LCD is cool, and the menu is incredibly simple to use. Even as a beginner like me you will find no trouble using it. When lightly pressing down the button, the picture focuses untill you press it harder and it will then capture it.
Not only has it got a stunning design and a wide variety of modes (portrait, night scene, cuisine, behind glass, indoor, sunset firework and about 10 more)it also records videos. Unfortunately this a weak feature for the "Olympus µ[MJU:] mini " because its capability at saving is around 15 minutes on my 512mb xD picture card, the good news is, this is only one of about two disadvantages this camera carries. The other being the incapibility of taking picture fast.
After taking the photo, you are able to apply modes like, fish eye, sepia and red eye reduction which failed to impress me.
The camera is light and despite its odd, but original shape, the Olympus µ[MJU:] mini is easy to hold.
Overall the camera has a decent picture quality, complex but easy to use menu, great accessiblity to the computer, helpful software, fair price, but in places it is glitchy.
I recommend this camera to beginners and people who just want to get the feel of photography.
Summary: Don't judge a camera by its shape.
