Olympus Mju 7010 digital camera
Is this 12MP pocket snapper truly magical? 24 August 2009 19:41 GMT

The Good
User friendly operation, solid construction, portably pocket sized, quick and responsive for the most part

The Bad
Still images are flat and dull in appearance straight out of the camera (if not utilising magic effects filters), with loss of focus towards frame edges when shooting at maximum wide angle. No HD movies, which seems amiss when similarly priced rivals are offering this

Verdict
The Mju 7010 misses out on the latest must-have of HD video, but makes up in part by incorporating a 7x optical zoom and fun effects filters. Shame then that image quality is below par and in many other respects this model feels simply average

Didn't find what you want?

Are you having trouble finding what you are looking for? Below are a few tips that should help you get the best results from our search engine.

Be Specific

Try to think of words that would best describe the product such who makes it or how many megapixels it has. Our search engine does not recognize "and", "or" "the" or similar words so don't worry about putting them in as search terms.

Spelling

Typos are the most common reason for unsatisfactory search results. If you're not sure how to spell a product or brand name try a more general term.

Tags

If you still can't find what you are looking for, then why not try our tag index where we have tags all our stories with words we think will help you find information quickly. You can choose to look at the tags either via which are the most popular, or via an alphabetical list.
