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 Perfect Camera for the Family That Drops Everything

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

byislandalex Jul 20, 2008
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

This is marketed as a rough and tough go-anywhere 7.1 mp compact digital camera. Compact and rough it is, but it lacks the picture quality that I have come to expect from Olympus, more on that later!

The Packaging

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

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 »

Adequate Camera for Extreme Adventures

bycxshih May 25, 2008
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »
