Transcript: Olympus 770 SW Underwater Camera Review

Review Date: 4/9/07

Hi! I'm Peter Cook for About.com Gadgets, and today, I'm going to review the Olympus Stylus Underwater Camera.

What is the Olympus Underwater Camera?

The Olympus Stylus 770 SW camera is designed to take pictures underwater and on land. Olympus says you can take the camera underwater as far down as 33 feet, but for this review I went as far down as 9 feet in a swimming pool.

How Does it Measure Up Underwater?

The Stylus 770 SW is a very waterproof camera. In my tests, I didn't have any problems when it was submerged - whether it was for an extended period in a vase of water or in the pool. Rubber seals behind securely fastening covers protect the battery and camera ports. All off the buttons are water tight.

How is the Underwater Photo Quality?

The camera takes great underwater photos as you can see... You can take picture anywhere, record movies, night scenes, and many other settings including fire works.

Is the Camera Shock Proof?

Another feature mentioned on the front of the camera was that the camera was shockproof up to 5 feet. So, for my test I dropped it on the floor from the height of five feet - over and over and over and over and over and over again. The stainless steel and aluminum body did not dent or show any damage.

Olympus Underwater Camera's Physical Design

The one downside to this camera is its physical design. It is very hard to hold this camera securely underwater or out of the water without putting your thumb over the lens. I would like to see a little more room for fingers around the edge of this camera.

In my opinion, this is a decent camera with a large view screen, and at 7.1 megapixels this camera produces great images.

Thanks for watching.
