This is an extremely robust digital camera. Olympus has increased the depth this camera is waterproof to, to 10m. It can also be dropped from a height of 2m. At just over 21mm wide it is small enough for most pockets.
The Olympus MJU 5000 gives you 12 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens. Olympus has worked on the design of this camera and come up with a digital camera that looks a little different to the majority of cameras on the market. It has rounded corners and the deep colour of the body gives the camera an extra bit of style.
The MJU 5000 will fit into a good sized pocket, but there are other more compact digital cameras available.
One of its strength is ease of use. Olympus has set the MJU 5000 up as a straightforward point and shoot camera. It is suitable for anyone who is looking for a good looking camera that will cope with most standard, snapshot opportunities.
There are one or two features that help to take this camera up above the most basic models. These include image stabilisation, a 2.7 inch LCD screen and the ability to fire off shots at a rate of 8 frames per second if you reduce the resolution to 3 megapixels.
