      Olympus Mju 790SW digital camera

      By Doug Harman

      Pros: Build, image quality, easy to use, handling Face Detection AF

      Cons: Noise at higher ISO settings, full manual on CD, purple fringing at wide end of zoom, 30fps movie's limited to 10-second clips, frame rate, lacks manual/creative control

      Verdict: A 3m-depth waterproofing and robust build means it is droppable from 1.5-metres ? without it breaking into a sweat ? or any of its components, and it is also capable of good quality images

      Olympus mju 790 SW

      By Rich Trenholm

      Review summary: The Olympus mju 790 SW is a compact that loves the active life. Waterproof and shockproof, it doesn't forsake smooth styling to be robust, and while the toughness will hit you in the pocket, Olympus hasn't skimped on photo quality or features
