Adequate Camera for Extreme Adventures

Date of Review:  May 25, 2008
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...

Waterproof and sturdy, but picture quality suffers

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2009
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...

Nice camera, but might return mine..

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: Wouldn't buy one unless the ruggedness is higher priority than the picture quality and the risk to take the shot at all. Would not recommend to a friend.
Review: I got this camera to replace a previous all-weather Olympus I had. I travel 'far away' both for work and fun and I have some mil-spec gear. Waterproof has been great for snow shots although lately I am more often in sandy/dusty places. That said my...

I love it!

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2008
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...

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2008
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...

Great little underwater camera with video! Updated

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2008
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...

Awesome

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2008
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 Wife.

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: buying that camera it the worse purchase in the last year... well maybe second from buying a ticket to the new Indiana Jones Move
Review: I got this camera to replace my big old aging coolpix which I had used all around the world. I knew i wanted something simple tough and waterproof. i found this camera at Target on sale. once i unpacked it i realized it takes some weird little...

okay shots on 'auto' outdoors, but set your ISO indoors

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2008
Review: Have had this camera for a few weeks and taken indoor pictures, and some outdoor winter pictures. Wanted ONE camera that was rugged enough for outdoors but also for indoor portraits for newsletters and glossy mags.

Indoors, you're best to...
