The Olympus MJU 840 is a smaller compact digital camera that should fit into most pockets. It has a slight slope to the front of the camera giving it a more unique look than the more typical, standard rectangular shape. It is available in a choice of colours: black, silver, pink and blue.
Although the MJU 840 offers the simplicity of a point and shoot camera it also has one or two extra features that make it a clear step up from an entry level camera. These include image stabilisation and a longer than standard 5x optical zoom lens. While this does not exactly put the MJU 840 into the super zoom category every little helps with additional zoom, especially on these smaller cameras.
There is also a good sized 2.7 inch LCD screen for composing photos and accessing the menu system. It also has face detection technology for sharper portrait shots.
