Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus Stylus 770SW 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Bronze)
Customer Review: it does what it says it will do
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes the 770sw guarantees a drop from 5 ft so I feel if I get shock proof reliability at 3 feet I'm still ahead. Yes it says it is waterproof to 33 ft, well again, if I get caught in the rain with no damage then I feel it is well worth it...is there another camera like this? However...
While scuba diving near Marathon Key a few weeks ago, it slipped off my wrist/lanyard into 6 feet of water, into 1 ft high sea grasses. I was wrestling the BC off my back and simply forgot to get the camera safely off my wrist. I couldn't find it right then, panic. My boat was anchored and was sweeping at a 30 foot arch in the wind enough to activate the drift alarm so I GPS marked the spot and stabbed a spear gun into the sea floor roughly where I thought I needed to return. It was getting dark so knew I would have to return next day at first light to do a systematic search for it.
Next morning we returned for I found a fellow to help me search. He splashed around for a while as I directed him from the boat. I became impatient and jumped in and swam where I thought the target area to look should be. And there it was. s you can imagine I was quite happy to have found it. I had a lot of pics oin it and it isn't the cheapest camera either.
Now, I picked it up and turned it on and started a video right there in the water. It worked fine after sitting there over night.
I have dropped it from table height too and it still works perfectly.
I took it to a cold high mountain river in New Mexico and shot a little video under water last week just sticking my hand under for a few seconds. Still works just fine. It took breathtaking shots off of the Sandia Crest looking out at Albuquerque. Also, "breathtaking" because it was at over 10,000ft alt and I wasn't acclimated quite yet. I took the cable Tramway up there in the afternoon so I could catch a sunset then eat at the restaurant. I do that every time I go there. Fantastic view. The dinning was far better this time than back in 1974..then it was horrible.
I'm buying another one of these 770sw's. I like it that much.
