Olympus Stylus 770 SW

Pros: waterproof, shockproof, crushproof, freezeproof, compact, good photos, adequate video, software, many modes, Bright Capture

Cons: rechargable ion battery, scrolling through too many modes, somewhat long shutter time, scratches easily

The Bottom Line: I can sit on it, throw it, or dunk it in water, and it'll still take great photos and good videos. I'm happy.

Review: I’ve had this camera for almost a year. My husband broke my old one before Easter and I knew I needed a new one before that photo op. How he broke it, I do not know. I think he sat on it and the lens cracked because when you turn it on, there was a weird ...

Pros: Ultra-compact 7.1MP, waterproof, shockproof, continuous drive, 2.5" LCD screen, in-camera editing

Cons: Recorded sound after submerging camera in water is muffled until water is blown from microphone

The Bottom Line: A great waterproof, shock-proof, ultra-compact 7.1 MP camera. Very portable, robust, stylish and easy to operate. Great pictures and movies above and below water. Tough to break.

Review: When I first discovered that Olympus made a MilSpec drop-proof (from 5 ft) camera, I immediately thought about a member of my family, who has destroyed a few cameras by 'drop-testing' them. The perfect present!!!! So I purchased one from Olympus' ...

Pros: Shock, Water, Freeze, & Crush Proof!

Cons: Picture playback has annoying info overlay, xD Memory limited options, Panaoramic requires OEM memory.

The Bottom Line: I give this an excellent recommendation for all the features combined with the durability uniqueness.

Review: My aging Sony needed a replacement. I had many accessories, batteries, waterproof housing, etc. and hated the thought of losing all those items because I wanted a new camera. My needs were simple. Find a Point and Shoot camera that is tough enough ...

Pros: Water/shock/freeze/crush proof is awesome! Great fun at bars.

Cons: Heavy. Image details on preview. Slide show music.

The Bottom Line: This cam is the standard for active people. The pictures are great, it's small, and it don't take no guff! You can also use it as a weapon.

Review: I bought my 770SW about six months ago and I've taken it everywhere I go and dropped it, submerged it, and froze it in one or more of those places. My first outing with the cam was going snorkeling outside my hotel in the Caymans. I walked right out to ...

Pros: Fabulous photos, exciting video, quality craftsmanship, durable, good sound, easy handling, great preview screen

Cons: terrible strap for underwater use, short battery life, writes some kind of funky AVI file

The Bottom Line: I recommend this over the Pentax W10, which we used side by side--it's much more solid, far superior photo quality and I learned it's system more quickly.

Review: In a nutshell: Love the camera, hate the strap, am not crazy about the battery life, ADOBE PREMIERE PRO won't read the AVI file it writes, so you have to re-write all your AVIs before editing, or use something like ROXIO CREATOR or WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER. ...

Pros: SOLID! underwater video. Great everyday use. Small enough. Freeze proof. Shock proof.

Cons: In play mode, pic info always pops up. No bulb mode.

Review: I keep telling everyone this is the greatest camera ever. I have had it since July and have used it in ALL KINDS of conditions- underwater, in the snow, tide pools, my pool, everywhere! I edited my underwater snorkeling vid shot on this camera. MOST ...

Pros: water proof, shock proof, freeze proof, crush proof. 28 shooting modes.

Cons: battery life is not bad, but it isn't great either.

Review: awesome camera. it does everything you would expect a digital camera to do and more. The shooting modes really do optimize shots in almost any condition for a user that is not a photo guru. Makes for a great point and shoot camera. Action shots are ...

Pros: Sexy small can use underwater

Cons: Doesn't make you coffee in the morning

Review: I love this camera to bits. I got the blue version which looks sexy and took it on holiday and could carry it everywhere. I agree with the previous reviewer that you should buy it for the right reasons. Something to chuck in a bag or pocket(great size), ...

Pros: Food Porn without effort

Cons: More features than I use

Review: We purchased this camera prior to a Florida vacation, primarily for it's underwater features and durability. It performed beautifully in this instance - however, as a budding food blogger, I have come to love the camera's macro features and food ...

Pros: VERY durable. All weather compatible. Completely submersible. Flexible picture options.

Cons: Video quality is very poor. Proprietary USB cable. Proprietary battery. External charger.

The Bottom Line: The pros outweigh the cons. It is small enough and durable enough to take everywhere without worries.

Review: A good all around camera. This camera is very portable, very rugged and all weather compatible. It is completely submersible and plays fairly well with sand, dirt, dust--great for days at the beach/pool/water park. Picture quality is decent, but not ...
