The Olympus mju-III Wide 100 (circa 2002) is a late variant of the mju-III consumer compact line offering a 28-100mm zoom range — the widest wide-angle starting point in the mju-III family. Like all mju-III bodies it uses the weatherproof clamshell inherited from the mju-II, but trades that camera's acclaimed 35/2.8 prime for a slower zoom. The 28mm wide end gives noticeably better environmental coverage than the 38mm start of the base mju-III, making it particularly useful for interiors and travel. Optical quality at the wide end is adequate; the 100mm telephoto end is slow and soft by modern standards.

The mju-III line launched in 1998 and proliferated throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s with a succession of variants distinguished primarily by zoom range: Stylus 80, 100, 105, 115, 120, 130, 140, 150. The Wide 100 sits at the tail end of the line (~2002), distinguished by opening the zoom range to 28mm — a meaningful step beyond the 38mm floor of earlier variants. By this point Olympus's attention was shifting toward digital compact cameras and the Wide 100 received limited marketing compared to earlier mju-III models.
Within the mju-III family the Wide 100 occupies a specific niche: buyers who want weatherproofing, the mju clamshell ergonomics, and a 28mm wide angle in one package. The base mju-III starts at 38mm, which feels cramped for architecture or cramped interiors. The 28mm floor here is a genuine advantage for that use case.
At current used prices ($60-160) it sits below both the mju-II and the mju-III base models in collector demand. For a shooter who actually intends to use the camera — rather than seeking the mju-II image quality — the Wide 100 offers good practical value.
