When Olympus claims its Stylus 770SW is the “world’s most durable camera,” it means it. It can be dropped from up to five feet, be immersed underwater down to 33 feet, withstand temperatures as cold as -10 degrees Celsius, and support up to 220lbs of pressure, all without breaking a sweat. While the Olympus Stylus 770SW is obviously great for hikers and adventurers, its solid build also makes it the perfect camera for younger, more accident-prone users. Less

The FE-290 was built to let you capture more of all your favorite people and places.

The Extra-Large 3.0" LCD with Backlight Boost Button increases the LCD's brightness for even better outdoors visibility. Digital Image stabilization provides high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds so you can freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free images, even if you or your subject is moving. Less

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 black-lined leaf-like pattern on the... Read full review »

A Big Disappointment

21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Waterproof, Shockproof, Durable, Good Warranty
Cons Poor image quality, unintuitive user interface, complicated menus
Recommended it? No

The Packaging

Olympus, like many other camera manufacturers are slimming down... Read full review »

Pros Great photos, super clear LCD, well built
Cons Wish it used standard AA sized batteries, but you can't have everything.
Recommended it? Yes

If you've read any of my digital camera reviews, you'll know that I haven't been that kind to Olympus cameras. Well, I've had a change to try out the FE-290 digital camera and I must admit that I actually liked it! I really liked it!

The photos from the FE-290 are very much improved over... Read full review »
