In this season of offerings, we've noticed two growing trends among manufacturers: touchscreen-enabled or ultra-high resolution point-and-shoots. But Olympus' latest darling in its Mju family, the Mju 1060 has neither. So does this new shooter have what it takes to pit itself against other more sophisticated compacts?
Compare PricesIt is easy to like the FE-320 for its stylish looks and feature-rich specifications. But what we like to applaud Olympus for is in making things work.
Compare PricesThe 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.
Compare PricesThe Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.
Compare PricesThe latest addition to the Olympus Ultra Zoom range is the 10-megapixel SP-570UZ which boasts a 20x optical zoom lens, making it the longest superzoom currently available.
Compare PricesAvailable in matte black or silver, the 8-megapixel Olympus Mju 840 includes 5x optical zoom, image stabilisation and built-in camera editing for red-eye, exposure and blur.
Compare PricesThe Olympus Mju 1020 offers a broad feature set in a slim, stylish package, but average image quality and memory card restrictions may dissuade buyers.
Compare PricesWith its shocking pink design, you won't miss the 850SW. With its shockproof, waterproof and snow proof casing, you're not likely to accidentally destroy it either.
Compare PricesBuilding on the success of its previous weatherproof cameras like the Mju 790SW, Olympus introduced the Mju 1030SW, a point-and-shoot designed to withstand extreme conditions.
Compare PricesFollowing a four year hiatus, Olympus has released its new flagship digital SLR and successor to the E-1, the Olympus E-3.

Compare PricesSitting at the top of Olympus' entry-level range, the FE-290 boasts a 28mm wide-angle lens, 4x optical zoom and a 3-inch LCD in a slim metal body.
Compare PricesAvailable in black, red or silver, the 8-megapixel Olympus FE-280 boasts image stabilisation, face detection and in-camera editing among its hefty feature set.
Compare PricesThe 7-megapixel Olympus FE-270 features image stabilisation and Perfect Shot Preview which allows you to preview the results of various settings including zoom, exposure, white balance and metering before you take the shot.
Compare PricesThe Olympus FE-220 is a bare-bones digital compact which features an anti-blur function and 13 scene modes in a stainless steel body.
Compare PricesOlympus' 8-megapixel superzoom generally improves over its SP-550 UZ predecessor, but suffers from many of the same problems.
Compare PricesThe top-of-the-line mju 1200 features a 12-megapixel sensor, as well as face detection and shadow adjust.
Compare PricesA lightweight compact camera featuring 8-megapixels, sensor-shift image stabilisation and 5x optical zoom.
Compare PricesIt looks good and its features are nice, but the Olympus Mju 820's photos and performance simply aren't up to scratch.
Compare PricesIf you need a camera that you can take snorkeling or skiing, then the Olympus Tough Lite 790SW might be just the ticket, but you can find better image quality elsewhere for the same price.
