What's Hot

Great design, solid build quality, lots of features, low noise levels

What's Not

White balance presets result in inaccurate colours, some corner softening and minor blurring, slow burst mode

The Final Word

It doesn't take the best pictures on the market but they are fine for small- and medium-sized prints and the combination of style, strength and features makes the MJU 840 an attractive all-purpose point-and-shot.
