“The Olympus mju 1060 is a sleek and attractively designed camera with excellent build quality and good overall performance. It is very easy to use, but apart from its useful 7x zoom range and high-quality monitor it is very short on features. Picture quality is very good, but is let down by very poor low light results. “

“The other cool thing about this unit is the 7x optical zoom, which is impressive considering the fairly slim build. Optical image stabilisation is also included, which means you can take full advantage of the lens. We would have liked it to be wide-angle, but you can’t have everything.”

“The battery life and performance of the 1060 didn’t impress me much either. I would say that unless you REALLY need the pocketability of this camera (in which case you’ll have to bear with multiple compromises), it’s really best that you take a look at the Olympus 1060’s competitors. For those in places where the 1060 isn’t available, don’t feel disappointed; you aren’t missing out anything exciting.”

“It has some minor flaws – which if corrected would make this an excellent camera. One of the most obvious flaws with this camera was the lack of focus assist lamp – this meant that the camera would often fail to focus correctly indoors in low light – so if you often go out to low light venues then this camera simply isn’t for you.”

“This Olympus is one of the few point-and-shoots on the market which has a long zoom range in a compact form, so those looking for such a camera won’t have much choice.”

A liberating 7x optical zoom (37-260mm*) gets you right up close to subjects, while integrated Dual Image Stabilization eliminates blur caused by camera shake to keep shots sharp. That, plus a generous 7.6cm/3.0” HyperCrystal LCD and advanced technologies – which include Advanced Face Detection Technology, Shadow Adjustment Technology and the exciting new Intelligent Auto Mode – make the 10 Megapixel Olympus µ [mju:] 1060 a compact model to covet. This new model also comes with internal memory plus an xD-Picture Card slot – also doubling as a microSD Card slot to offer plenty of options when it comes to expanding storage space. The Olympus µ [mju:] 1060 becomes available September 2008 for an approximate value of £259.99.
The works
With its 7x optical zoom (37-260mm*) the µ [mju:] 1060 gets you closer to your subjects, expanding photographic possibilities – no matter if you’re enjoying an outdoor party with friends or exploring a foreign city. An attractively-designed metal exterior, available in Starry Silver, Midnight Black or Cyan Green, cries out elegance and makes it fun and easy to slip it in or out of any handbag or pocket. When it comes to framing and reviewing shots, an extra-large 7.6cm/3.0” HyperCrystal LCD guarantees grand depictions. And Dual Image Stabilization ensures shots always come out sharp – even at high magnifications. Thanks to ample ISO settings, even shots in dimmer environments such as a romantic moonlight dinner are possible. And for extreme-action situations, this model provides an impressive 9fps** of sequential shooting power.
The µ [mju:] 1060 includes an in-camera panorama function allowing users to instantly compose panoramas of approx. 130° straight from the camera. By framing each shot in step with the on-screen guide, exciting panoramic scenes can be stitched together for a more realistic and emotional depiction of any landscape or skyline. This mode is only available in conjunction with the use of an xD-Picture Card.
Automatic perfection
Still puzzled by endless settings combinations? The µ [mju:] 1060 will take it from here. Incorporating Advanced Face Detection Technology, Shadow Adjustment Technology and the new Intelligent Auto mode, this clever model will help users get results like a pro – no matter their skill level. The new “intelligent” type of AUTO mode combines Face Detection and Shadow Adjustment Technology to allow the camera to detect the five most commonly used scenes automatically. Meanwhile, Perfect Shot Preview lends a degree of creative control by letting the user preview various effects right on the camera’s LCD. And other important image aspects such as natural colour reproduction, image noise reduction and faster processing times are all significantly enhanced by the powerful TruePic III image processor.
