Olympus stylus 790 SW - It takes a beating

By je nc

I love this little camera. It contains all the critical functions and many new ones I hadn't seen before. The 'guide' function helps you set the aperture and shutter speed for specific conditions - very helpful. It's very compact and light weight. A big f...

Light weight and compact Easy to use functions and menus Big clear 2.5 in. LCD screen One tough camera

There are other compact digital cameras that will give you better color reproductions but given what's being asked of it I can live with it.

Olympus 790 and Other Olympus Waterproof Cameras

By voidgate

I spoke to an Olympus representative in the service and repairs department. I mentioned that I had seen appraisals on the Internet regarding this camera that some customers found their camera leaked. He told me about 10% of cameras leaked as Olympus...

Camera worked other than the colour of photos being unlike the colour of what I was looking at. Only had it a short while. Never submersed it.

Some Olympus waterproof cameras leak. My particular camera is unsuited for the purpose sold as the colour does not come out correctly. Olympus repair claims it is simple to fix.

Used two months in New Zealand

By monsterdeer

I exposed this camera to extreme trauma. I dropped the camera countless times on a 60 day trip to New Zealand. I had a tiny crack in the LCD screen and the USB door got tweaked. I called Olympus New Zealand and the tech said that there was a 10% chance th...

This camera was dropped countless times on a 60 day trip to New Zealand. I had a tiny crack in the LCD screen and the USB door got tweaked-- fixed with Silicon glue and a small pair of pliers.

Not the best pictures but if you need a waterproof camera then there is no alternative.

Olympus Stylus 790SW

By Tommy Playa

The comments by Olympus led me to believe that they had solved their LCD problems regarding Glare and the inability to see the LCD when you are outside on a bright day. WRONG. The LCD is better used as a mirror instead of a viewfinder. It's horrible. The...

Small size, apparently waterproof and shock resistant

Unbelievable glare on LCD makes taking pictures in the sun impossible! ! ! Confusing and difficult wheels and buttons used to change camera settings make a lot of the features very hard to use

I really like this small camera. It has good looking, good design, it is easy to carry and use. The image quality is pretty good. The 1600 ISO makes it capture good picture in dark situations. In fact, what really drew me in is its special waterproof desi...

By boli2007

This is a very cute camera in terms of size, color and shape. It takes good quality photos under water/shock. Good ISO about 1600. It's very user-friendly, all the features are easy to reach and navigate, and I don't even need to use manual. Just occasion...
