Olympus Stylus 790 SW / µmju790SW

Pros: Ease of use, worry free exposure to all environments, beautiful pics

The Bottom Line: This is a great little camera that shoot great pics in virtually any environment.

Review: This camera was pretty amazing. I bought it in preparation for a vacation which included snorkeling a coral reef and subject to general abuse expected during other sporting activities. The camera was simple to set up. We bought a 1 Gig xD card for ...

Pros: Underwater feature

Cons: A little pricey

Review: I love this camera. I have used it kayaking and in the pool to take movies and awesome pictures. I have taken it snow skiing in some very cold conditions, and has worked without fail. The only problem I am having is getting it from my ...

Pros: great video mode, easy to clean

Cons: none

Review: This is a great camera, we got it to take to the beach and it does a great job. Sand gets on the camera and we just wash it off when we get home, and no problems. The manufacturer says to wash it off and we did, a little scary, but like I said no ...

Pros: small, tough, many many features & WASHABLE!!

Cons: Can't find any!!

Review: If you are looking for a small, tough, feature filled camera, this is the one for you! Since it is waterproof to 10 feet, it is washable! Ever bring your camera to the beach only for it to be ruined by a grain of sand??? or God forbid you DROP it in ...

Pros: shock proof, waterproof, freeze proof, dust and sand proof.

Cons: Picture quality!, proprietary xD memory cards, subpar battery life.

The Bottom Line: A great little camera for the avid adventurer but picture quality and battery life are huge set backs.

Review: I purchased the Olympus Stylus 790 SW Digital Camera to take on my mountaineering trips because I was tired of lugging my big and heavy Nikon SLR worrying about whether or not it would be damaged by moisture, cold, dropping, or being crushed in the ...

Pros: Shockproof, Waterproof, Freeze-proof, Dust-proof, Image stabilization

Cons: None from this amateur

The Bottom Line: Its great for anyone who is active and it can survive just about anything. Its easy to use as well.

Review: I love this camera and would recommend it to any amateur photographer looking for a more rugged or outdoor camera. I loved the fact that it was shockproof. That is something that drew me to this particular camera in the first place. I have a tendency to ...

Pros: It can withstand abuse and work like a charm

Cons: picture quality is not perfect

Review: I couldn't find many customers reviews on this digital, before I bought one so I'm writing this. This is a tough... excellent little camera! I have taken this camera out in minus 15, snorkeled in the ocean, basically beat it up and it stands true to ...

Pros: Size, versatility, extreme condition proof

Cons: picture quality, menu and features, Xd card, charger

The Bottom Line: It pretty much says it in my final paragraph.  3 stars and recommended with a qualifier on intent of use.

Review: I bought this camera mainly because of its waterproof, shock proof, temp proof quality.  I also thought it would do fine in picture quality.  I needed something that I could take anywhere, really anywhere, and give to my kids, without ...

Pros: Compact, easy to use, waterproof, super underwater video feature.

Cons: See update

The Bottom Line: Good point and shoot with extra features like underwater photo and video. I recommend it as a secondary, not a primary camera. 

Review: My Olympus Stylus 790SW digital camera had to be sent back to Olympus after its first use this year. The darn thing turned on, but all operations were frozen. Olympus fixed the camera, but to my dismay never indicated what the original problem was. I ...

Pros: Rugged — holds up to wind, rain, snow and very cold weather.

Cons: Horrible, disappointing photo quality (color, contrast and, particularly, clarity).

The Bottom Line: It's durable for quick shots you want to e-mail, but for lasting memories, it'll produce disappointing, grainy shots.

Review: I was envious when my husband bought his new Olympus Stylus 790 SW; it was smaller than my Canon point and shoot, had more mexapixels (7.1) and, best of all, it was waterproof. But then I relied on the camera when we renewed our vows at the top of a ...
