Tough September 24, 2008 I have an Olympus Stylus 840 and now the Olympus 770 SW. I like both cameras. The 840 takes a great picture. But I'm afraid to take it certain places (kayaking, boating or to the beach.) so I bought the 770 SW for these outings. I am not at all sorry for doing so. I stick the 770 in my pocket and have no fear as to where I go. If it gets wet or bumped no problem. I will say that I do not believe that this should be an only camera, it takes a nice picture in certain conditions but it lacks some of features that a fine camera would have. If you already own a fine camera and you are looking for a camera that is tough enough this is the camera. I go snorkeling in 3 weeks I'll let you know how it turns out.
awesome September 22, 2008 This camera is good if you are looking for an inexpensive underwater camera. There are a lot of features and the low light feature is really useful. The pictures do turn out pretty grainy but what do you expect when you are using features. All in all, I really like it.
Amazing Camera!! September 18, 2008 This is the best camera I have ever seen! The underwater pictures are great and the regular ones are even better! It is small, looks nice, and is super durable!
I am a college student living near the beach so this camera gets all kinds of use and abuse. I have dropped it, taken it scuba diving (not deeper than about 20 ft) and a million other semi-crazy things with no affect! This camera rocks!! If you are looking for a serious camera that can do it all, buy this one!
Very nice for those times on the go September 16, 2008 You will not get the most user friendly camera or the most easily manipulated controls, and you will not get the best pictures you have ever taken. But here is what you will get with this camera....
You will get an affordable, tough, no worries camera. There are times when it is raining, or I am headed out to do some hiking, and I am afraid that I could damage my camera or get some water on it. I don't have to worry at all with this camera. The battery life is the best of any camera I have used. Overall, this was a great purchase for quality to value. It does quite a lot and I'm satisfied.
Great camera September 14, 2008 I bought this Olympus 770 as a replacement for my last Olympus 770. (Note to self... they are water prrof, but they don't float) I love this camera. I have taken it to Alaska in the cold and rain, fishing in Chile, and out on my jet ski. It takes great pictures. Can't zoom in real close. Can't see in the view finder in the bright sun, but otherwise, it's great for travel and outdoors. Just remember when you're going down a river, have it hooked tightly to you.
