Olympus Stylus 720 SW review at CNet
Posted by Steve on May 18th, 2006
CNet have reviewed the Olympus Stylus 720 SW digital camera. The Olympus Stylus 720 SW, which is also known as the Mju 720 SW is a compact 7.1 megapixel camera, with a 3x optical zoom and a large 2.5 inch LCD display. Being weatherproof and shockproof it won’t mind a bit of rain or the occasional bump, which should make it an ideal take everywhere camera for action photographers.
CNet gave the Stylus 720 SW an overall rating of 6.8 out of 10, a ‘good’ result.
The summary of the review:
“The good: Waterproof up to 10 feet; shock-resistant to drops and mild impact; easily pocketable; better-than-average outdoor image quality with impressive detail.
The bad: Few manual controls; cumbersome interface; low-light images prone to visual noise.
The bottom line: For those who need a tough, waterproof, and ultracompact digital camera, the Olympus Stylus 720 SW’s strengths outweigh some frustrating usability issues.”
