The OLYMPUS μ-II [mju:] is an especially small and lightweight film compact camera. You'll be surprised at how small it is the moment you pick it up, and once you get used to it, other cameras will seem large. Its greatest appeal is that it can be easily carried around in your pocket or bag.

Operation is simple, and all you have to do is press the shutter. You can concentrate on taking pictures without having to think about complicated settings, so you can capture the moment you want to capture. The ease of use translates directly into the photography experience, and you'll naturally end up taking more pictures, from everyday snapshots to recording your travels.

The 35mm F2.8 prime lens is a great choice for capturing images. It's compact yet sharp, with just the right amount of background blur, giving the photo a three-dimensional feel. It pairs well with the cool colors of the Kodak Ultramax 400, giving it a film-like quality.

Not only is it small and lightweight and easy to handle, but it also produces photos that you'll be satisfied with. The fact that it allows you to enjoy taking photos casually while still capturing clear images is probably why it has been so popular for so many years.
