Olympus MJU 5010

If you’re looking for a not so pricey camera that’s easy to use, then you can get the Olympus MU 5010 compact camera.

The features are fairly similar to cameras of its class: 14 megapixels; 5 times zoom and a wide angle lens. It has image stabilization and high definition movies as well.

The additional feature to the Olympus MJU 5010 is a generous 1GB internal storage.

The digicam’s photo quality is decent and for £149.50 it is reasonable performance for its price tag.

FEATURES

  • Excellent 5x wide optical zoom in a super-slim metal body to capture great scenes through to exciting close-ups
  • Capture HD movies and view them together with photos in sharp detail on HDTVs including convenient remote operation by HDMI control
  • In-camera panorama function to easily capture spectacular wide screen views of a land or city scene.
  • Photo surfing through your own customized photo album in the camera thanks to 1GB internal memory and integrated photo organizing software
  • Beauty Mode automatically identifies and retouches imperfections- faces appear brighter and smooth

OUTDOOR SHOOTING

The quality of the photos are sharp with minimal purple fringing. The photos are sharp with a bit of noise on the edge. Using available light also creates nice shots.

TAKING PHOTOS OF PEOPLE

The skin tones are have a bit of yellow hue but it is still passable. The built in flash is also fairly strong and in good lighting the camera takes good photos.

COLOURS

In indoor lighting you might see a bit of blue tint. Every brand of digital camera has a special set of colour blend. Olympus point and shoot cameras have a more toned down color than other camera brands. Some people prefer this so if you are one of them this camera is good for you.

IN A NUTSHELL:
Photo quality is average if not slightly better than a mid range pocket camera. If you’re an Olympus fan this may be your camera.

Good and bad, so OK

4 stars

Im 13 years old and really wanted a camera so i saved up my money and bought this one. First of all, the color of the camera is actually a little bit darker than the picture. Second, when you zoom in its gets really blurry. There are a bunch of cool settings though, like sunset, pet, or firework. I guess this camera is ok for people who arent really particular about their pictures.
