Mju Mania – Celebrity Status of Point and Shoots

The Olympus MJU and MJU II are two of the most popular point-and-shoot camera systems ever made. They were released in the early 1990s and quickly became known for their sleek design, compact size, and sharp imagery. The dominance of this compact camera (and the many Zoom iterations that later succeeded it) in the point and shoot market is matched only by the Contax and Yashica T series, as we spoke about recently these can be accredited to the celebrity status they gained from the likes of Frank Ocean and Kendall Jenner

The MJU and MJU II share many of the same features. Both cameras have a 35mm lens with a focal length of 35mm, which is equivalent to a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera. This makes them ideal for a variety of subjects, from street photography to landscapes.

The cameras also have a built-in flash and autofocus, making them easy to use even for beginners. And thanks to their compact size, they’re perfect for carrying around with you wherever you go.

But what makes the MJU and MJU II so special? It’s all in the details. The cameras are made with high-quality materials and have a solid build quality. They also feature a number of thoughtful design touches, such as a retractable lens cover and a self-timer that can be triggered with a blink of an eye.
