Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $289.00 from Futuretronics @ Mall

Summary:
As an avid mountain biker I needed a camera that could take whatever abuse I could intentionally or unintentionally throw at it. After much research the Olympus 790 SW seemed to be the only camera that fit my needs: Shock proof, water proof, and freeze proof for those brisk 60-degree FL mornings.

This camera is small enough to easily slide into a pocket or my Camelback and it is very simple/quick to operate for for those "on the fly" trail shots (even while wearing my gloves). I've dropped it quite a few times and the camera still operates flawlessly (the same cannot be said for my old Olympus). Photo quality is as good as all the others on the market in my opinion.

I have yet to take it under water, but I plan on giving that a shot next month!

Strengths:
A compact camera that takes beautiful shots yet is water proof, shock proof, and it is available in all sorts of colors (mine is bright metallic green)....how could you go wrong? The price can't be beat for a camera of this type.

Weaknesses:
Battery life can be short.

Customer Service:
n/a...no problems so far
