The Olympus µ-7000 is a sturdy camera from the new µ series of Olympus cameras. With this model, Olympus seems to have done away with tapering and curvy designs and has stuck to basics in terms of the design of this camera. With this model, the company has tried to focus more on performance and less on style and curvaceous looks. Having said that does not mean that the Olympus µ-7000 is ugly to look at. The model is available in three different colors that are ‘Ocean Blue’, ‘Midnight Black’ and ‘Starry Silver’. Turn the camera around and you will find the generously big, glossy black LCD monitor. This LCD monitors measures 3-inches and comprises block buttons accompanied by a shooting mode dial.
You will find that the LCD screen covers almost the entire backside of the camera body. The controls on the far right of the LCD look a little fussy but are very easy to operate on. The menu set-up of the camera feels like that of a smart-phone. It comprises easy to view options and is very user friendly.
