Editorial Review :

Scuba divers, mountain climbers and adventurers worldwide will love the 10.1-megapixel Stylus 1030 SW, the toughest point-and-shoot camera in the world. This shockproof, waterproof, freezeproof, crushproof and dustproof model builds on the Olympus Stylus SW series reputation of delivering amazing images while enduring extreme expeditions and everyday adventures, including life with kids. Even more durable than its predecessors -- it can withstand a drop from 6.6 feet -- the camera has also been pumping up its power with a 3.6x wide-angle optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD screen and digital imaging advances, including Face Detection, Shadow Adjustment Technology, and a TruePic III image processor to capture rich, vibrant detail with every shot.

Excellent - the 3rd one we've purchased!

I've bought two of these for my company and one for personal use. I'm considering another for personal... it is an excellent camera with outstanding durability. On top of it all, it takes beautiful, clear, crisp pictures withOUT a delay! Only my very expensive DSLR is faster, but not by much!!

A must have for everyone who enjoys photography, but wants to have something they can take anywhere, regardless of the weather, and fit it in their pocket or purse.

Perfect gift for those a little less than careful...

I bought this for my mom and I also bought one for my boyfriend, they both have exclaimed it was their favorite Christmas gift. It's durable, sleek, and lightweight. It does not give away the fact that it is - for all accidental occurences - virtually indestructible.

The options for taking different types of pictures are numerous, but if you are able to take good care of your camera, you don't really need to add the option that makes it able to endure 220lbs of force. The zoom option is also not too significant, if you really like taking close-ups from far away, I suggest a different model.

Great camera

This camera is versatile, easy to use and takes great pictures. Although I have not tried the underwater movie mode yet, I look forward to doing that this summer. Its heavy-duty design takes the worry out of the camera being knocked about. I ordered the strap with the carabiner-type clip for easier attachment to a backpack or belt. This camera, so far, seems to be worth the money.

Stopped working the first time it went into the water

I bought this as a Christmas present for my brother and he said it stopped working the first time he took it into the water.

This might be a defective build but there seems to be plenty of people that had similar problems.

So far, so good

I'm not an expert photographer and unfortunately haven't even read the manual on this one, but I've been carrying it with me and have gotten some pretty good shots. I've always used Canon in the past but felt like the batteries either run down REALLY quickly, or it's coming on while in my purse. I was able to take this one with me for 4 days to visit my family for Christmas without having to charge it. I don't know much about the special features and haven't had any photos printed yet, but it's straightforward enough to use straight away for normal point and shoot snapshots.

Great for us

This is the first above-avg camera I've bought. It is small, durable, takes great shots, and has a fast shutter. No complaints

Rating :

pleased, few complaints

This replaced my Olympus Stylus 710 that was dropped 1 too many times in the 2.5 years I owned it. During those 2.5 years it had traveled all over North American and to 3 other continents and served me very well.

Very small, very easy to use, tons of features and settings yet easy to just point and shoot (which is largely how I use it).

The benefits of the Stylus 840 over the older camera are more optical zoom, larger lcd, and more megapixels (though for my purposes, ~6 MP is more than enough; picts with this at the highest setting are close to 2MB). There are a few other nice new touches too.

Biggest draw back? Olympus dropped the All-weather protection which is VERY disappointing and why went with Olympus in the first place. In fact, if I didn't already have a case, extra batteries, 2GB memory cards, and familiarity with the controls from my earlier Olympus, I might have considered a Canon.

With that said, I quite like the Olympus and have no regrets or complaints with the quality of the picts.

Great camera!

This camera is great for everyday users. It's relatively simple to figure out but has more complicated features for the more advanced user. The in-camera panorama feature is one-of-a-kind! The image quality is great. Slim and portable. The battery life is very decent.

Love this camera!

I love, love, love this camera. It takes GREAT photos! I have been amazed! It's fun to experiment with all the extra settings but works awesome on automatic. A friend purchased a similar camera the same time I purchased this one. We compared photos and features and she immediately returned hers and traded for this same camera. I highly recommend it!

Editorial Review :

Life is a blur. Your images should be crisp and clear. The 7.1 megapixel Stylus 760 digital camera combines an impressive suite of features previously unavailable in a single Olympus model. New Dual Image Stabilization technology compensates for camera shake and freezes action with stunning clarity. The camera's All-Weather design seals out moisture so you can safely shoot in the elements. With Bright Capture Technology, you'll get vivid images in low light, without a flash. And share all your great shots on the 2.5" Wide-View LCD, featuring a backlight boost button for enhanced visibility even in direct sunlight.

Outstanding !

An outstanding camera for several reasons.Great price,user friendly,wide range of features,size,quick recovery time,great flash and AMAZING battery life.
I have had several Olympus cameras-most recently a D-560 zoom-a THIS one is a quantum leap into the 21st century.Got my wife a Sony (Cybershot DSCW80 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot-Pink) which is as good as this camera,but a more expense with essentially the same quality and features.
If you looking for a great "point and shoot" this IS it -and- it has advanced features when you need them-2 close ups;wide range of automatic shooting situations,etc.
I strong recommend this handy,compact digital camera!

Perfect Little Camera

And it is little and light - perfect size to put in your purse or pocket. This is my second Olympus and I really like it - it has tons of great features! I'm not great with technology by any means, but I figured this camera out quickly, and have taken some great pictures. The large viewing screen is great - compared to my old Stylus 410 with a quarter sized screen. I have had no issues with glare or poor pictrue quality. The Olympus software was very easy to load onto my compture and is very easy to use to edit photos! I would recomend this camera !

loved it!

omg i loved this camera! i dont really have much experince with cameras since this one was my first, but compared to other cameras i've seen this one really stood out.
the only thing that sucks is that i didnt buy warranty and my sister dropped it on cement! so now i need another one, im actually thinking of getting it repaired but i heard it's a lot more expensive than buying it again.
well anyways it took wonderful pictures, which my friends always complimented. i love that you can edit the pictures on the camera! the videos also look really nice. it is a little big, it does fit in your pocket though. i also liked the flash on it!

Disappointing

I just wanted a camera for snapshots and candid photos, nothing fancy. I had this camera for a year, and got poor quality pictures the whole time. It was easy to use, but photos were either grainy or blurred. After consulting the manual several times, no error could be found. It was small and light, but didn't suit my needs.

Olympus Stylus 760

This little camera takes a beating and keeps on ticking. I was holding it up to take a shot of my family of four and neglected to put the strap around my wrist (stupid, I know). The outer bezel is bent, but it still takes great pictures.
I don't recommend trying this to test its durability, but if you're looking for a small camera for travel and quick pics, this camera does that and has many great features beyond that.
