Description:
Olympus unveiled its first 8MP compact, the µ Digital 800 Stylus 800 Digital, back in May 2005. As well as offering one of the highest pixel counts in its class the Stylus 800 is weatherproof and uses a unique technology, Bright Capture , to boost sensitivity immensely (up to ISO 2500 in some modes), ensuring a bright screen image and blur-free non-flash photography in very low light. Otherwise specification is fairly standard for this type of camera. The camera is known as the Stylus 800 Digital in the US, and the µ ( Mju ) DIGITAL 800 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 800 name in this review mainly because it s easier typing that than trying to remember the key combination for µ.
