Olympus Mju 7010 Review
12-megapixel compact Digital Camera
Olympus has announced the new Mju 7010, claiming an “incredibly slim and stylish metal design” for the new mid-range compact.
The vital stats for the new compact are a 12-megapixel sensor, a 7x optical zoom (28-196mm)and a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal II sunlight-viewable LCD display.
Offering a “clever” AF tracking function, Olympus claims sharp images even if the subject is moving. There’s an intelligent i-Auto option that auto-adjusts to five common scene modes, dual image stabilisation and VGA at 30fps movie recording with sound.
On the novelty side there’s “Magic Filters” for special effects, such as “Pop Art”, “Pin Hole”, “Fish Eye” and “Sketch”. In addition, the 7010 offers a in-camera “Panorama” setting for landscapes and a wide zoom function for group shots and close-ups.
xD-Picture card and microSD card compatible, the camera will come complete with software and be available in titanium grey, candy pink and starry silver from August

“The G10 is compact but it packs plenty of manual features and is ideal for an enthusiast who doesn’t want to lug around a D-SLR. We found it to be very well-suited to low-light photography and macro shots, but it will perform well in any situation. ”

“Where the Canon PowerShot G10 really excels is sheer image quality, and here its performance can only be described as awesome—noticeably better than the G9 (which is very good indeed) and far better than other digital cameras of comparable size and price.”

” The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a good camera, but the Canon PowerShot G10 is better – it’s as simple as that. In terms of both features and handling, the G10 has the edge, and it was invariably the camera that I reached for first…it’s easy to declare the Canon PowerShot G10 as the winner of our first head to head review.”

KenRockwell reviews the Canon G10 and writes;
“I’d buy a Canon G10 and use it for landscapes, travel, nature and the weird stuff I shoot instead of dragging along an SLR. Even if I was carrying an SLR, I’d rather grab a G10 than change lenses on an SLR. The G10 is that good.”
