In this review Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at whether the new addition to this illustrious line of compact digital cameras is worthy of the reputation associated with them.\n\nOlympus Mju 700 specification:\n— 7.1 million pixels\n— 19.1 MB internal storage for images.\n— Removable xD-Picture Card\n— 3x Zoom\n— 2.5inch TFT LCD monitor with 115,000 pixels.\n— BrightCapture Technology: Improved live-view especially in dark surroundings.\n— 8cm Super Macro\n— 23 Scene modes\n— Weight: 103g\n\nBuild and handling\nThe wedge shape of the Olympus Mju 700 is very comfortable to hold. The wider end fits snugly in the palm of my hand making access to the well laid-out control system very easy indeed. For such a small camera, the tapered contour of the camera feels reassuringly secure to hold.\n\nThe zoom control, shooting mode dial and menu controls are all located on the back, next to the ample 2.5inch display. When holding the camera with one hand, the shutter button on the top, and the zoom control on the back, fall exactly where your finger and thumb rest naturally. This well-thought-out design really aids the usability of the camera.\n\nMaterials used in the construction are of high quality, the camera feels sturdy without being heavy and the metallic finish looks the part.\n\nDisplay screen\nOlympus Mju 700 Digital Camera Review: Olympus Mju 700The large 2.5inch screen on the back is clear and satisfyingly bright when used indoors or in dim light. Dim light is where this display excels, the process of brightening the on-screen image that is termed 'BrightCapture Technology' by Olympus, really does help with composing shot in low light conditions. The Autofocus also performs brilliantly in low light. In bright daylight the performance of the display is less impressive. A tough sheet of clear acrylic material protects the screen, but this material is also quite reflective. This can make it difficult to see properly in bright daylight, I found myself constantly having to shade the screen with my hand, so that I was able to see the image well enough to compose my shot.\n\nAutofocus\nHalf-pressing the shutter button sets the autofocus system into action. The camera automatically selects what it thinks is the correct focus point for your image, while this is very quick and simple, sometimes I found that the point it chose was not ideal for the shot I was composing. In low light the autofocus system is superb, quickly locking onto the subject and rarely hunting around for focus.\n\nMenu and controls\nThis little Olympus has a raft of simple features to help novice photographers get the results they desire. With a little knowledge of just what settings each mode alters, more experienced photographers can also use these mode for creative effect.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48536139170047,"sku":"ade0938b-2498-4c42-9cb9-c82985ff7ec3","price":141.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/1243\/8783\/files\/il_fullxfull.5691661367_d1zu.jpg?v=1779046392","url":"https:\/\/ftdprotech.com\/products\/olympus-mju-700-digital-camera-vintage-silver-camera","provider":"FTDproTech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
