      Olympus Mju 790 SW Review

      Review summary: Olympus Mju 790 SW Review - "They don't make them like they used to", Matt Grayson's dad used to say. Showing him the Olympus Mju 790 SW with waterproofing to 3m and Shockproofing from 1.5m soon shut him up.

      Pros: Shockproof to 1.5m, Waterproof to 3m, Easy to use

      Cons: Screen is not good quality

      Verdict: Whilst not offering a great deal in features compared to other cameras in its price bracket, the Olympus Mju 790 SW does offer the waterproofing and shockproofing. These features alone are worth getting it for as the waterproofing offers some great ...

      Stylus 790 SW

      By Conrad H. Blickenstorfer

      Review summary: Perhaps the most stylish of all the cameras in the Summer 2007 lineup of new Olympus consumer cameras is the Stylus 790 SW. Not only does it come in five attention-getting colors (orange, blue, lime, black and silver), but it is also shockproof, ...

      Pros: Attractively styled sports and outdoor camera, Snorkeling possible with 10 feet depth limit, Inherent waterproofing provides peace of mind when handling in/around water, Can survive 5-foot drops and 14 degree temperature!, Superb wide-angle, high-res ...

      Cons: We had hoped for a higher res CCD and 33 foot water rating or more, Return to mode dial not an improvement for this type of camera, Strictly point & shoot, Uses often hard-to-find xD-Picture Card

      Verdict: The attractive ultra-compact water, shock and shockproof Stylus 790 SW is perfect for those who love to take their camera outdoors without having to baby it. The camera can take a beating and you can even use it underwater, down to a depth of ten feet ...

      Cons: We had hoped for a higher res CCD and 33 foot water rating or more, Return to mode dial not an improvement for this type of camera, Strictly point & shoot, 640 x 480 movies limited to 10-second clips, Uses often hard-to-find xD-Picture Card

      Verdict: Although not listed in the website specs, the Stylus 790, like other Olympus cameras, actually does have both a macro and a super-macro mode. The macro mode goes from eight inches to infinity whereas super-macro goes from 2.8 inches to a bit over two ...
