Manufacturer's Description
Good things come in small packages. The four million pixel µ-mini DIGITAL is compact enough to slip into your pocket while making a huge impact. Keep it with you always - from the lakeside daytrip to an evening lounging with friends at the local bar - and enjoy the envious glances you will attract. Six striking colour variations mean that the camera is as individual as you are. The uniquely super-smooth and streamlined contours of this metal-bodied camera, together with the retracting lens cover, make it great to look at and to touch!

The µ-mini DIGITAL encapsulates functional purpose just as much as sculptural beauty. 13 scene programs for a range of shooting situations and the high-quality zoom lens ensure that images are at their best, while an assortment of editing functions including fish-eye and soft focus let you add special touches to your shots on the camera. The large 1.8 inch high-contrast LCD delivers astoundingly bright, vivid colours and extremely wide viewing angles, so showing off your pictures is easy to do.

The µ-mini DIGITAL's fresh, revolutionary shape is all about attitude. Each compact metal body is seamlessly crafted from a single sheet of metal using a special process to create its slick smooth and flat design. Without protrusions, the camera slides effortlessly into your pocket. Its shielding lens barrier automatically glides into the body on start-up.

The µ-mini DIGITAL's weather-proof* construction means that it is always protected even during sudden rain showers. Snowboarders, snorkellers and surfers alike will also enjoy the optional protection case that is waterproof to three metres.

The camera's advanced technology is just as impressive as its innovative appearance. A newly developed zoom lens incorporates three aspherical lens elements for an uncompromising balance of compact lens size and high-resolution performance. The new wide-angle LCD screen offers three times higher contrast than conventional displays. It dramatically enhances the quality of on-screen images with sharper definition and brighter colours, making the viewing of photos with friends even more fun.

The combination of the µ-mini DIGITAL's ultra-compact form and unique visual signature gives this tiny camera great impact, that speaks volumes about the taste and poise of its owner.;* weather-proof equivalent to the IEC standard publication 529 IPX4

Impressed!!
I bought this camera because I wanted a camera that I could tuck away in my handbag, ready for any occasion. Well I was very, VERY pleased. Not only does this tiny little camera have fantastic picture quality, but the video capability is quite amazing for something so tiny.It is so easy to use and the software package that comes with it is a joy to play with. This makes taking pictures a pure pleasure.

The best digital Camera ever made!
wow this camera is amazing! Its amazing and takes brilliant photos. i bought it to take away with me on holiday and it was great. its a perfect pocket size and is always there for those brilliant photos! the only thing i would say is buy a new memory card the 256 mb one is the best! definately buy one you won't regret it!

Fantastic little Camera!
I've owned a Mju 35mm camera for 5 years now, and its rugged weatherproof design has been a bonus whether I've been climbing in Scotland, bouncing through the bush in Africa or taking photos whilst working under the car.

The Mju mini is built along the same lines, although the front lens cover is powered, not manual like all other Mju's I've seen (I never get tired of watching it operate) and there is an exposed screen on the back. It (the screen) hasn't been scratched yet despite the fact I've carried it round in my pocket unprotected for the last week (although I'm sure it will and so have bought a case for it - it doesn't come with one).

The camera is tiny, about the same size as the average mobile phone, hence really easy to take with you, but impossible to operate with gloves. Battery life is good, so far with regular use the battery has lasted a week, but if you are going on holiday for more than a few days I'd take the charger (the plug is on the end of a standard radio lead, and it came with an EU lead as well as the UK one).

Besides that I don't know what else there is to say, this is a fairly simple camera to operate and the video sound quality is excellent, it only comes with a 16Mb xD memory card (and only works with Olympus xD media) but it's only about £50 for a 1Gb memory card.

Ah... one thing, I would not recommend this camera for any man who is a little insecure - all my mates keep telling me it's a girls camera, then again I always have it on me, whereas anything larger would have been left in my pack (yes - that is the best come back I have, but I still think the camera's great).
