Olympus mju (Stylus) 760 Digital Camera Review

September 14th 2007 | Cameras

The mju 760 [Stylus 760 in US market] has an almost identical array of features to the 780, and to several of Olympus’ other lower-spec compacts. Shooting modes are limited to full auto and scene mode with the same 22 programs, including three underwater settings for use with the optional diving case. It has the useful Guide feature, in which the camera presents you with a selection of common problems such as shooting into backlight or reducing flash red-eye, then offers a solution and automatically sets the camera to the correct option to cope with the situation. I really like this feature, since it will help beginners to appreciate the capabilities of the camera, take better pictures and learn more about photography in the process.

..In most respects the Olympus mju 760 is a typical feature-starved budget-priced 3x zoom pocket compact, but superior build quality, stylish design, excellent low-light focusing and of course its weatherproof body set it apart from the crowd. Image quality is no better than most cameras in its class, but no worse either. As a basic snapshot camera it offers excellent value for money.
