1. Olympus Stylus 790 SW

   Reviewer: Imaging Resource

   There's a lot to like in the Olympus Stylus 790SW, beginning with the fact that it has been specifically toughened to be taken everywhere: dropped on the ground, submerged in the water, left in the sand -- as the maxim goes, the camera that gets taken is the camera that gets used, and this camera is definitely designed to be taken. It is well-fitted with scene modes, and attempts to initiate a novice user with its guided shooting mode functionality, but in practice I... Read more

   The Stylus 790 SW is the latest addition to Olympus' shock and waterproof line of rugged digicams. While we expected improvements over it's younger brother, the Stylus 770 SW , Olympus fooled us. The 790 can only go down to depths of 10 feet instead of 33, does not include the handy manometer. However, it can still be taken into extreme temps down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10C), and can also handle drops from up to 5 feet. Standard features include a 7.1-megapixel... Read more

   I like the Mju 790 SW. Its a small camera and I carry it with me all the time. Due to the waterproof housing I don't even have to care about carrying the camera in the rain. The image quality is ok. I have seen better images on other digital compact cameras though. But so far I have made some nice snapshots with the Olympus 790 SW! Read more
