Very portable. Light weight. Guide mode lets you quickly change settings. Stylish design.

Performance and picture quality just mediocre. Some shutter lag. Subpar video capabilities.

The Olympus Stylus 710 is a stylish package that needs better performance and picture quality.

With the Olympus Mju 700, Olympus offers high resolution to consumers in search of a user friendly, compact design camera. 7.1 Megapixels is a lot for the average consumer and I suspect this has more to do with 'the more pixels, the better the picture'...

Stylish, compact, water and scratch resistant body ; Large 2.5" LCD display is visible in low light (though see issues below) ; Very good performance ; Tons of scene modes ; Support for underwater cases ; Nice in-camera guide/help system ; Very good...

Photos have soft, fuzzy details; noticeable corner softness; poor night shot performance ; Redeye a problem; built-in redeye removal software didn't help for me ; No AF-assist lamp; so-so low light focusing ; Digital image stabilization (aka high...

While there are some nice features on the Stylus 710, I was ultimately disappointed with its photo quality, which is the most important feature on any camera. If you're only going to be making 4 x 6 prints and can live with the flaws I mentioned in...

First up, the general functionality, control layout and menu system on the camera are all positioned where they should be… where your right thumb sits for easy access

7 megapixels in an all-weather body ; Large LCD with good visibility ; Fast performance - until the buffer fills ; A great big collection of scene modes ; Camera guide and help

No manual controls ; Slow lens (Aperture range one of the worst I've ever seen) ; Low resolution LCD ; Sub-standard low-light focusing ; Slow (for "normal" mode) and limited continuous shooting ; No real optical image stabilization ; Not-even-close 8...

The Stylus 710 has 7 megapixels in a stylish and somewhat sturdy all-weather body which resists scratches. Though it has nice things like a large LCD with good visibility, there always seems to be a downside to every positive thing on the Stylus 710....

Very stylish and weatherproof at the same time ; High quality construction ; Nice LCD, visible in direct sunlight (adjustable brightness, gains up) ; Full Auto and Program Auto mode (you can change ISO, white balance, etc) ; 3.7 fps high speed...

Hard to hold ; High noise levels above ISO 100 ; Low frame rate on movies ; Battery life unimpressive

The Olympus Stylus 710 is an attractive camera that provides the weatherproofing that the Stylus line is known for. A quite capable camera, it captures nice pictures with accurate color and good exposure. It does suffer from high noise when the...
