BEST CAMERA FOR THE ON THE GO OUTDOORS PERSON.
[ Posted: 2008-08-08 ]
My roommate had this camera and I loved it. We could take it to the beach and get some of the best photos on our dogs in the water in action. I should post that photo. It could take video under water. We could take it snowboarding and not have to worry about it. Best Camera for the outdoors kind of person that goes everywhere. Oh did I mention the photo quality. IT IS FANTASTIC!. so you can't go wrong. easy to use and so much fun. If was in the market for a point and shoot I would get it. But sadly we bought a Sony 6mp before we knew about this GEM.
AWESOME CAMERA. Endless photo opportunities.
very nice

I am not sure why people complain about this product. I am satisfied with the performance of the camera. underwater pictures are nice. and battery life is also quite fine.
Great all-weather. Low-average quality.

Used it in all weather situations and it paid off. So much that I got two of them.
Battery life appears surprisingly low. Movie's sound recording goes easily off scale. The videos keep changing brightness suddenly and without an apparent reason. The stabilized shooting is not always available. But you can shoot in torrential rain.
This camera is great except when anti shake isn't on

I think this is a good quality camera for the price,but the pictures can come out a little burry when the anti shake is not on.
Love it!

It's a great little camera. I use it for the quick grab shots of friends,family and activities and I purchased it for it's ability to be used in different environments. I had upgraded from the 720SW due to some additional features. It seems like I'm always on a river or around water. I like the Olympus cameras as they are easy to figure out and use. Results are good and the true test came when I went on a float trip down a river with a bunch of friends. We were all on inner-tubes which means no-one is holding still for a picture. I'm constantly moving and the subject is constantly in motion. I put it on the stabilizer setting and got a lot of sharp images.
I went river rafting down the Colorado River in May and used the 720sw and again the shots were absolutely great!
Both cameras got dunked under water on these trips so for me this is a great series of cameras.
