Olympus skins up the Mju 1020
Olympus pushed out the Mju (that's the Stylus over here) 1020 in a lackluster pre-PMA update back in January, but the company is trying to spice up the 10.1 megapixel shooter with a trio of custom skins designed by Romanian artist Matei Apostolescu. The skins are bundled with a special white-bodied 1020 and are apparently available now, but you'll have to act fast -- only 5,000 are being produced. Check the other two designs after the break.






















I'm not sure whether Engadget chose to put the ugliest, the prettiest, or a random skin on the main page.
It is at least a good way to attract the subject you are photographing towards the camera. hope they find it funny, so it ends up in a smile.
That is on ugly mutha.
Damn! Curse Engadget's duff comment software that won't let you correct mistakes.
I meant to say that it was *one* ugly mutha.
I feel a bit bad for writing it out twice now too. It was hardly interesting the first time around.
Sorry.
*scuttles off
Did these things come strait out of the 60's?
My eyes ... my eyes are bleeding.
Yeah, I don't think I want a camera that increases red-eye.
Wow, I can't wait for my eyes to stop bleeding!
Great camouflage! I almost didn't see them.
Matei Apostolescu kicks ass!!!
These are very cool... and I'm sure alot of other companies will knock this idea off, offering skins for their own cameras as well.
Am i supposed to take pictures with them or hang them on the wall?
Okay everyone, grimace for the camera.
The only blessing is that you won't be able to take a picture of these shit things with the cameras themselves.
Mirrors.
Even with a limit of 5000, I don't think they'll sell out anytime soon...
Dont be so confident
i was shocked when i saw people bidding on potato that looked like jay leno
That first camera's gonna go great with my Eddie Van Halen replica guitar!
Is 'Mju' a typo? Perhaps it's something like μ (Mu) instead?
In any case, those sure are some fugly cameras...
The b+w zebra striped one? Not the camera to take with you on an African photo safari.
It looks like a zebra exploded.
Zee goggles, zey do nothing!
*In the tone of the best Microsoft fanboy*
Gosh endadget, get it together, who cares i a sub-par device is now avaible in a different color. You're just a tool for *insert brand name here*.
Sorry folks, but I love these! But I do agree that Engadget should have picked the multi-colored one for this article.
How much and when? ;)
as if olympus' p&s cameras weren't gay enough!, does this one come with a big old bottle of lube? and is the lube designed by some lame german artist?...the purple and blue one comes with a buttplug!
if my OWN skin looked like that i'd want to rip it off!
I guess I'm the only one who actually likes the first one (zebra). I like the design of the second one - If the purple was another colour, I'd like that too.
