Olympus µ[mju:]-V METAL
Known as the Stylus Select 105 in the US, this 35mm compact camera was a luxury model from the very successful mju/Stylus/Epic series, and was introduced by Olympus in 2002. As its name suggests, the camera housing was metal (brushed aluminium and/or stainless steel) and yet it was also weatherproof. At the time of release it was the world's smallest camera with a 3× zoom lens. A QD model with autodate was also available.
