Olympus has launched two new colour models of its mju 850 SW digital camera in time for the summer.

The two new colours will be a summer friendly Crystal Blue or Lemon Yellow, while the original Starry Silver model gets a Summer Kit complete with flip flops, an air bed and a sun screen for those days by the pool (read back garden).

Like the Pentax W range, the Olympus SW offering promises a digital camera that is shockproof to 1.5m, waterproof to 3m and freezeproof to -10°C.

Other features on the 8 megapixel snapper, which remain unchanged, include a 2.5in LCD screen, a 3x optical zoom (equiv. to 38-114mm) and 24 scene modes.

The Summer Kit will cost around £230.
