Point and Pray Aug 19, 2008 Poor latch on battery compartment will eventually admit water, ruining the camera. Lack of a viewfinder forces you to rely on the LCD screen which washes out completely in sunlight.
So far, So Good Aug 17, 2008 We purchased this camera to send to our son who is serving in Afghanistan. We looked for the features that makes this rugged and dependable under less than ideal conditions. There are not a lot of economical and small cameras with these features.He has sent a few pictures via email and they are very good.
The camera takes a memory card different from our other cameras that use an SD card. That makes the Olympus a little unique but I was able to find an inexpensive 2gb memory card to send with it. Thus far, it seems to be working as advertised. It is easy to carry and has an image stabilization feature that keeps the pictures sharp. Perhaps the next 12 months or so will give us a better idea of how it holds up to adverse conditions.
It worked great... 'till the end of the vacation. Aug 16, 2008 I reciently purchased this camera from Amazon.com(great price) and took it to Jamaica. It is such a cool experience diving into water with a camera and taking very unique pictures. The camera worked great for the entire 6 days my wife and I were on vacation until it stopped working completely on the last day. We took the camera snorkeling several times for close to an hour. Each time, I rinsed off the camera with fresh water, opened the battery case and removed small beads of water, and left the case open to dry completely.
I am a bit dissappointed in the waterproof performance of this camera, however it did take great pics when it was working. Amazon.com was great about taking the product back and giving me a full refund, and I will try another 770sw. This time, perhaps I will be more carefull and dilligent about caring for it for use under water. Hopefully it will perform better in the future.
