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.

[Geir E @ Mar 12th 2008 7:42AM]

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.

[trumpton @ Mar 11th 2008 4:25PM]

That is on ugly mutha.

[trumpton @ Mar 11th 2008 4:27PM]

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.

Did these things come strait out of the 60's?

[doc venture @ Mar 11th 2008 4:29PM]

My eyes ... my eyes are bleeding.

[John Stracke @ Mar 11th 2008 5:34PM]

Yeah, I don't think I want a camera that increases red-eye.

[farfisa @ Mar 11th 2008 4:30PM]

Wow, I can't wait for my eyes to stop bleeding!

[spaceb @ Mar 11th 2008 4:32PM]

Great camouflage! I almost didn't see them.

[chopper @ Mar 11th 2008 4:34PM]

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.

[Ayman @ Mar 11th 2008 4:44PM]

Am i supposed to take pictures with them or hang them on the wall?

[eugene @ Mar 11th 2008 4:53PM]

Okay everyone, grimace for the camera.

[L @ Mar 11th 2008 5:04PM]

Even with a limit of 5000, I don't think they'll sell out anytime soon...

[Ayman @ Mar 11th 2008 5:09PM]

Dont be so confident
i was shocked when i saw people bidding on potato that looked like jay leno

[mymaclife @ Mar 11th 2008 5:16PM]

The only blessing is that you won't be able to take a picture of these shit things with the cameras themselves.

[John Stracke @ Mar 11th 2008 5:32PM]

Mirrors.

[Anthony @ Mar 11th 2008 5:34PM]

That first camera's gonna go great with my Eddie Van Halen replica guitar!

[Shane @ Mar 11th 2008 5:47PM]

Is 'Mju' a typo? Perhaps it's something like μ (Mu) instead?

In any case, those sure are some fugly cameras...

[kevjohn @ Mar 11th 2008 5:49PM]

The b+w zebra striped one? Not the camera to take with you on an African photo safari.

[Matt @ Mar 11th 2008 6:03PM]

It looks like a zebra exploded.

[puxpux @ Mar 11th 2008 6:23PM]

Zee goggles, zey do nothing!

[Elliott @ Mar 11th 2008 10:23PM]

*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*.

[ubercool @ Mar 12th 2008 12:16AM]

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? ;)

[ACEY RIOT @ Mar 12th 2008 3:11AM]

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!

[ACEY RIOT @ Mar 12th 2008 3:44AM]

if my OWN skin looked like that i'd want to rip it off!

[Down @ Mar 12th 2008 5:19AM]

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.
