olympus styles 720 sw reviewA review of the Olympus Stylus 720 SW digital camera, also known as the Olympus Mju 720 SW, is available at imaging resource. The ultra compact Olympus Stylus 720 SW offers 7.1 megapixels resolution, a 3x optical zoom and a large 2.5 inch LCD display. It weatherproof, shock proof and offers useful features, such as image stabilization.

The review verdict:
“While we’re crazy about this capability and the external design and build of the 720 SW, image quality is somewhat lacking when compared to other 7 megapixel cameras on the market, with muted color and a noisy texture to solid colors. The good side is that few shooters actually use resolution this high, even printing up to 8×10 size, and few of these defects are strongly visible at those resolutions. […]
While its image quality isn’t as good as it could be, the Olympus Stylus 720 SW makes up for it with versatility, durability, and just plain good looks. It is currently the best underwater offering on the market, and the only shock resistant model, period, making it a Dave’s Pick.”
