Great little camera
2 of 2 found this helpful Great little camera for everyday use - if you can find one that works.
Olympus Mju Mini (a.k.a. Stylus Verve) is 4 megapixels; Mju Mini S (Stylus Verve S) is 5 megapixels. Either is more than enough for a basic point and shoot camera.
Main controls are extremely simple - on/off switch, mode dial, and shutter release. Menus and other controls are standard for an Olympus/Camedia camera, and not difficult to work out. LCD is small (but so is the camera!), but not too good in bright sunlight.
The Mju Mini is NOT waterproof - in spite of what you read elsewhere - but it is showerproof and will survive being splashed. A waterproof housing is easily obtained that allows swimming and snorkelling down to 3 metres.
Most common serious problem with the Mju Mini is the lens mechanism jamming, so the camera resets and switches off when first turned on: This is not economic to fix, but you can often get it to work by pointing the lens downwards when turning on. (Once on, it is usually fine.) Minor problems include the battery latch being broken off, and the battery compartment cover not staying closed: Workaround is some padding in the battery compartment to keep the battery in place, and duct tape the cover closed.
Both models were produced in a range of different fashion colours, some of which are less common than others. Auction prices usually around £30-60 ($50-100), depending on the model and condition.

Engaging, educational, and entertaining.
Michael Wood manages to combine mythical history, documented history, with a side helping of geography. Excellent viewing for upper primary or secondary children during lockdown.

OM-1, but not quite.
If you actually know what an Olympus M-1 is, you'll already know how it's different from the early (non-MD) OM-1 which succeeded it. If you don't know what's special about the M-1, you'd be much better off buying a later OM-1MD or OM-1n instead: They're a good bit cheaper, apart from anything else. Other than that, the M-1 near enough is an OM-1, so watch out for all the usual faults - foam decaying into black goo, etc. If you manage to find a good one, enjoy using it.
Slight risk that it's a fake, with genuine M-1 top, bottom (with a suitably-low serial number) and back all swapped onto a later OM-1 body, but you'd need a good look inside to confirm. In use, you'd probably never notice.
Prices for M-1 vary according to condition, with a mint, fully-working example fetching considerably more than one needing work done. (M-1 refurbishment is much more expensive due to certain parts being different and unobtainable.) There's a slight price premium over a good early OM-1, but not sure it's justified.
