In a partnership with the Fred Hollows Foundation, Olympus is auctioning celebrity photos on eBay to raise money for the charity.

Australian personalities Cam Hollows, Ernie Dingo, Matt Moran, Miranda Kerr, Susie O'Neill and Wayne Cooper recently took up the task of getting behind the camera, rather than their usual place in front of it.

Armed with the Olympus' Mju 1020, the six celebrities were asked to shoot images that inspired them. The results were narrowed down to two shots per person, with the selected shots being auctioned on eBay. All auction proceeds go to the Fred Hollows Foundation, an organisation dedicated to eradicating blindness in the developing world, as well as improving the health and life expectancy of indigenous Australians.

The eBay auctions, which end on Monday, April 28, can be found by clicking the links on the Olympus Australia Web site.

    • Nikon Coolpix P6000

      Nikon Coolpix P6000

      The P6000 is one of the first cameras to include GPS and it could well carve a niche for Nikon, but it has a lot of potential to be a better camera.

      Olympus Tough Smart 1050SW

      The 1050SW is a rugged adventure camera designed for swimmers and skiers, waterproof to 3 metres with 10.1 megapixels and tap control. Quirky features aside, the Olympus works just like any normal point-and-shoot.

    • Canon EOS 50D

      The 50D is remarkably similar to the 40D in terms of performance, looks and features — but if you can spare the extra cash, it's a much nicer package.

    • Fujifilm FinePix J100

      The J100 is definitely a point-and-shoot — because you can't do anything else with it.

    • Olympus E-520

      Olympus E-520

      The E-520 adds an appealing range of features to the existing Olympus line-up of dSLRs, but mostly for the first-time buyer. Apart from image stabilisation built into the body and the ability to use older lenses on the Four Thirds system, there is not much that really sets the E-520 apart from other cameras in its class.
