Waterproof and sturdy, but picture quality suffers

byShanti Mar 31, 2009
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Rugged — holds up to wind, rain, snow and very cold weather.
Cons Horrible, disappointing photo quality (color, contrast and, particularly, clarity).
Recommended it? No

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 mountain in wintery conditions, and when I... Read full review »

Pros shock proof, waterproof, freeze proof, dust and sand proof.
Cons Picture quality!, proprietary xD memory cards, subpar battery life.
Recommended it? Yes

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 pack.

The Stylus 790sw on paper seems to... Read full review »

Pros ruggedness, style of case ,color choice, and digital menus
Cons image quality, XD cards, BATTERY LIFE
Recommended it? No

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 cameras tend to get lost/stolen/given away before... Read full review »

Pros Shockproof, Waterproof, Freeze-proof, Dust-proof, Image stabilization
Cons None from this amateur
Recommended it? Yes

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 drop things so its an excellent feature... Read full review »

Cons See update
Recommended it? Yes

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 only received a notice on the slip inside the... Read full review »

Pros Small and lightweight
Cons Leaks, ok picture quality

Pros - waterproof/shockproof design - automatic lens cover - fairly compact
Cons white balance poor, especially indoors grainy at higher ISO expensive for the picture...
Recommended it? No

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 set its ISO manually to 400 or less otherwise... Read full review »
