Olympus Stylus Verve (μ-mini) Digital Review

Olympus unveiled the µ-mini Digital / Stylus Verve Digital at the Photokina trade show in Cologne (September 2004). The camera has soft rounded 'stylish' design, an all-metal body with a color coordinated sliding cover over its two times optical zoom lens. The Stylus Verve will is available in a range of colors. Specification wise it offers fairly basic fuss-free operation, 2x (35-70mm equiv.) zoom, four million pixels and a weatherproof design. The camera is known as the Stylus Verve Digital in the US, and the µ ('Mju') mini DIGITAL in Europe and SE Asia, so you can have a camera with a silly name wherever you live in the world. We'll use the Stylus Verve name in this review mainly because it's easier typing that than trying to remember the key combination for µ.
