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

I bought this camera on a cruise when my other camera failed. In general, I've been pleased with it. the resolution and color balance are very satisfactory. The speed with which it writes to the media also exceeds my expectations. The operating controls are flexible, yet simple, and the automatic... Read full review »

Big Mistake.. Design Flaw?

bypirate007 Jul 9, 2007

Pros Qulality product Feels substantial Looks good Weather-proof
Cons Viewfinder too dark! Deal breaker.
Recommended it? No

I've been using a 3.0 mpxl Olympus Stylus for the last 2 years.. LOVE it!! Weather-proof.. bullet-proof..Idiot-proof. The only problem is my wife and I are constantly fighting over it so last week we agreed we'd buy another. Did my usual anal research and decided we'd try the Olympus Stylus 740....

Pros waterproof, shockproof, crushproof, freezeproof, compact, good photos, adequate video,...
Cons rechargable ion battery, scrolling through too many modes, somewhat long shutter time,...
Recommended it? Yes

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
