olympus styles 720 sw reviewSteve’s Digicams have reviewed the Olympus Stylus 720 SW digital camera, also known as the Mju 720.
The Olympus Stylus 720 SW is an ultra compact weatherproof digital camera and waterproof up to 10 feet. Being waterproof the Stylus 720 SW also withstands dust and dirt and it’s rugged camera body design will protect the camera from falls up to heights of 5 feet. The Stylus 720 features 7.1 megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom and 2.5 inch LCD display.

The results of the review:
“The Stylus 720 SW is a tempting digicam in the weather resistant/water proof class. While Olympus claims it is also “Shock Proof” up to 5 feet, we opted not to test this feature; we’ll take their word for it. The camera’s 7-megapixel SHQ images have plenty of resolution to create high-quality prints up to 13×19 inches or larger. The only real issues we had were with the poor position of the lens and the below average results of its VGA movie mode. With an MSRP of $399, it offers a great value for a 7-megapixel underwater capable digicam.”
