Olympus Mju, Why People Care About It

- The Olympus Mju series of cameras gets a lot of lip service and spilled ink for moderately priced compact 35mm cameras from the 90s. Why?

I enjoyed this thoroughly. Alternative title "explaining why people are silly and why okay cameras are now ridiculously priced"
I’m so lucky to buy a limited edition Olympus Mju II/Stylus Epic for $3.99 back in 2017. These were already worth over $300-400 if you can find one.
Oh man I see so much potential in your video , keep up man I'm sure you gon be big one day
If anything it just goes to show the time is ripe for companies to start releasing film point and shoots again. Imagine a little plastic point and shoot with today's material science and electronics. It would be right up there with the very best of yesteryear
All MU2 cameras for 90 bucks back in the 90s. They were well-built and cheap. Again today I’m happy people are using them
Thoughtful and insightful. Really good work!
That was a great video and quite frankly I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers. I just subscribed, great work dude!
Really well explained, I think there is one more reason people are buying them like crazy. You can't argue that the lens its self is better than most cameras in the same category.
You have a talent for placing these Mju's in such dangerous places.
What I love about these little camera's is that they are small, light and still bring a full-frame to the party. Recently a woman just left one at the counter and hasn't left my side yet. Love it!
A few months ago I found my Mju camera I'd bought from new all those years ago. I've shot several films through it and had a lot of fun with it.
I have a Mju Zoom Wide 80 and. I LOVE it. At the time I bought it I was a long-time owner of Olympus SLRs (I have or have had an OM-1, OM-1n, OM-2n and OM-4Ti) but needed an even smaller, discrete camera for travelling (from ski-mountaineering in Japan, hot-air balloon festivals in New Zealand and hiking the Tasmanian rainforests in Australia).
I’ve literally sold thousands of these when they were in production, they feel nice in the hand, and are pretty rugged, but for picture quality a Konica A4 or Big Mini were better.
Loved the vid, awesome stuff!!
dude, awesome video! appreciate it
Good video. I bought my Mju-II around 2003. I think the key thing with these 1990s autofocus cameras is that you trust them to get more or less what you expect and that the result, while unpredictable sometimes, will be good enough and sometimes far beyond that. Whereas with digital cameras, you want to get what you can see and if you don’t then it’s a fail. Our standards for film cameras were lower. Also, if someone said “come on a road trip and bring just one camera”, I’d have trouble choosing between digital cameras. If I could only bring a film camera, I’d bring the Mju and I’d be very comfortable with that choice.
We need more videos like this.
nice video... keep up with the great work :)
Great video man!
One of my very favorite point and shoots.
