Olympus Stylus 790 SW (Orange)

Camera is waterproof to 10 feet; shock resistant to short drops and mild impact; freezeproof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit; nifty Perfect Shot Preview function.

Subpar screen; meagre macro

With 7.1 megapixels, the usual 3x zoom and average-sized screen at an above-a...

Camera is waterproof to 10 feet, shock resistant to short drops and mild impact, and freezeproof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit; also, has nifty Perfect Shot Preview function.

No manual exposure controls; slightly soft images.

If you need a camera that you can take snorkeling or skiing, then the Stylus 790 SW might be just the ticket, but you can find better image quality elsewhere for the same price.
