Great burst mode, Sharp pictures, Low noise

Colours not spot on

If you need a powerful sensor in a small body, or take a lot of photography in fast moving situations, the MJU 700 is probably for you.

7Mp resolution helps with zoom

Image quality not the best

A decent enough camera but can't compete with the real big-hitters

Very portable. Light weight. Guide mode lets you quickly change settings. Stylish design.

Performance and picture quality just mediocre. Some shutter lag. Subpar video capabilities.

The Olympus Stylus 710 is a stylish package that needs better performance and picture quality.

Great build, small and stylish, easy to handle, great metering and weatherproofing, good range of features

Noise in shadow areas, slight image softness, barrel distortion

Being very critical, image softness and slight lens/optical performance problems reduce captured detail. However, prints up to around 10x8 inches won't show most of these image problems and the camera's many great shooting features easily outweigh...

The mju 700 is by no means a bad camera, but it doesn't perform as well as it should. It's reasonably priced and if you need an easy-to-carry camera that copes well in low light, this could be the one for you.

Stylish, compact, water and scratch resistant body ; Large 2.5" LCD display is visible in low light (though see issues below) ; Very good performance ; Tons of scene modes ; Support for underwater cases ; Nice in-camera guide/help system ; Very good...

Photos have soft, fuzzy details; noticeable corner softness; poor night shot performance ; Redeye a problem; built-in redeye removal software didn't help for me ; No AF-assist lamp; so-so low light focusing ; Digital image stabilization (aka high...

While there are some nice features on the Stylus 710, I was ultimately disappointed with its photo quality, which is the most important feature on any camera. If you're only going to be making 4 x 6 prints and can live with the flaws I mentioned in...

However, despite the 700's extra megapixel of resolution over its rivals, we were underwhelmed by its image quality. At 100 percent, images showed a lack of detail due to too much compression. Plus, the camera underexposed our outdoor test scene, the...

First up, the general functionality, control layout and menu system on the camera are all positioned where they should be… where your right thumb sits for easy access
