Olympus Stylus 770SW (royal blue)

Camera is waterproof to 32 feet ; shock resistant to short drops and mild impact

No manual exposure controls ; slightly soft images

Olympus' Stylus 770SW might not produce perfect images, but you'd be hard pressed to find a compact camera as tough as this one.

Olympus designed its 7.1-megapixel Stylus 770SW to do just that, providing real competition for Pentax's waterproof Optio W30. Like so many compact cameras, Olympus doesn't include manual exposure controls in the Stylus 770SW. In fact, despite...

Olympus Stylus 770 SW Review

By Alan Stafford

This small pocket camera is waterproof and shockproof, but its LCD is hard to see underwater.

Waterproof and shockproof ; Quick startup

LCD is hard to see underwater ; No optical viewfinder

In our image-quality tests, the Stylus 770 SW earned near-average scores for most measures but received slightly above-average marks for color accuracy and exposure accuracy. It took 246 shots on one charge over 2 hours, 15 minutes, which doesn't ...

The two letters at the end of the Olympus Stylus 770 SW's name indicate that it's shockproof and waterproof, without the need for an optional housing. Olympus warrants the Stylus 770 SW to operate to a depth of up to 33 feet--that's plenty for...

Olympus Stylus 770 SW Compact Camera

This small compact camera is waterproof and shockproof, but its LCD is very hard to see underwater.

Compare that to Olympus's "weatherproof" Stylus cameras, such as the Stylus 1000, which can withstand splashes but can't be dunked or dropped, or to Olympus's FE series cameras (such as the FE280 we've tested); cameras in that series claim no...

Olympus Stylus 770 SW (3 mice)

By David Becker

If you plan to do most of your shooting on outdoor adventures and don't want to schlep around high-end gear, the Olympus Stylus 770 SW will produce adequate snapshots and withstand all kinds of abuse. But if thrill-seeking is only a minor part of your ...

Waterproof ; shockproof case built for rough outdoor use

Mediocre zoom ; uses expensive xD storage card ; confusing menus

The 7.1-megapixel camera is designed for rough outdoor use, with a sealed housing that's shockproof, freeze-proof, and crush-proof, and waterproof to depths of 33 feet to boot. It even has a manometer, which records the depth or altitude at which a ...

Olympus Stylus 770 SW

By Terry Sullivan

This specialty point-and-shoot is pricey for an ultracompact, but it lets you take pictures in places where few other cameras can go: underwater. The Olympus Stylus 770 SW is submersible to a depth of 33 feet and will withstand temperatures as low as ...

Both waterproof and shockproof. Decent performance.

Confusing menus. Mediocre image and video quality. Pricey for an ultracompact.

Whether you're in the pool, at the beach, or trudging across frozen tundra, the Stylus 770 is tough enough to take what you dish out.

The Olympus Stylus 770 SW is submersible to a depth of 33 feet and will withstand temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Benchmark Test Results Check out the Olympus Stylus 770 SW's test scores. Like many Olympus point-and-shoot digital...

Olympus Stylus 770 SW

By Anthony Losanno

You'll never have to worry about breaking this compact and nearly indestructible shooter.

• Waterproof and shockproof • Bright, crisp display • Higher-quality images than predecessor • Lots of scene modes

• Noisy low-light photos • Tiny buttons

Photos taken with the Stylus 770 SW were better than what the Stylus 720 SW produced. Olympus' latest rugged digital camera, the Stylus 770 SW, almost dares you to try to break it. The Stylus 770 SW packs almost identical specs as its predecessor,...

Olympus Stylus 770 SW

Laptop users have always had the Panasonic Toughbooks if they needed to dash off a document in a war zone. Camera owners never have had a digicam that could take a similar beating without...

Olympus Stylus 770SW

By Emily Raymond

As the newest Exilim in the Casio's Card series, the S770 brings with it 7.2 megapixels and a wide 2.8-inch LCD screen. It carries on some traditions of the line, such as the skinny 0.7-inch profile, trendy appearance, and almost countless numbers of ...

Nice 2.8-inch LCD ; Trendy 0.7-inch housing ; Large menu font ; Easy to use ; Dual recording buttons ; High-quality movies ; Past movie mode ; Included camera dock ; Data transport function

Uncomfortable to handle ; Tiny buttons ; Only digital zoom in movies ; Top manual ISO of 400 ; Only 6 MB memory included ; Horrible included software ; Data transport works only on Windows

The Casio Exilim EX-S770 shares many characteristics with its predecessor, the S600. It has an ultra-slim body that comes in trendy colors and has tiny buttons. It is as cuddly as a box - in other words, it's not that comfortable to hold and handle. ...

Not too long ago, we gave you our first impressions of the Olympus Stylus 770SW from a pre-production model provided by the manufacturer. We recently received the ready-to-market digital camera, which is immune to shock, cold, water, and dust. The 7....
