Perfect camera for the way we use itStrengths: Compact, great viewing screen, good instructions and very easy to use. Weakness: None that we have discovered so far. We purchased the Olympus to replace our Sony Cybershot DSC-P52. So far we have found it to be quite a step up in features and performance. We are not professional photographers and do not have a lot of experience with digital cameras.

Fatal FlawStrengths: compact, big lcd screen for small camera Weakness: does not save settings turned off I purchased the camera for taking pictures while out fishing and at the beach on vacation. The waterproof aspect and convenient size seemed to be a great fit. Unfortuately, the default photo mode for the camera is a "portrait mode" and this mode is not good for outdoor, action or bright light conditions. If you change the settings to those that are most effective outdoors, if you turn the camera...

OLYMPUS 720 SWStrengths: Waterproof, shockproof, ease of use, small size, Good quality pictures Weakness: Can't think of any. This camera is a great bang for the buck. I know I won't break it if dropped. It takes good quality pictures even at higher ISO's. It compliments my E-300 SLR quite nicely !!!!

Nice cameraStrengths: Waterproof. Shockproof. Now that I've overstated the obvious.... It is just a nice camera with a real feel of quality to it. Weakness: none so far A nice camera if you are looking for a waterproof camera. Not the quality display that I'm accustomed to with the Sony's that I usually buy, but it isn't bad. Overall a good value.

review from australiaStrengths: screen size, compact size, water proof and tough Weakness: poor photo quality for the price, advance manual is on cd, panorama is not practical well it was a bad choice for me to get this camera.. i was planning to buy the pentax A10..then got to the shop and saw this camera. It was water proof and shock proof too, so figured it be a good buy and thinking that Olympus wouldn't be that bad in technology and photo quality. God!!! was i wrong!!!! The photo quality was the same as my old 3 mega pixel FujiFilm A310 and that was like 3 years...

GREAT Camera!Strengths: Waterproof, Shock Proof, Large LCD, Small, Takes great Videos as well... Weakness: No Built in Lo-Jack tracking device... I recently purchased this camera for my month long vacation and I'll be the first to tell you this camera is virtually perfect. Don't listen to all the other "lazy" reviews, this camera is slim, sleek, can fit almost anywhere, large LCD screen, takes great videos as well, the waterproof part is awesome too. And as far as quality goes, theres an option that asks you if you want to take Low Quality...

Waterproof. NOT!!!Strengths: Cool looking. Decent pictures. Weakness: Not waterproof and warranty excludes damage by water. Three minutes in the ocean at depth of less than two feet and the camera got water in the lens and no longer operates. Both my one year Olympus warranty and 5 year Mack warranty exclude damage by liquid. I will be curious to see if the company stands behind their product.

Olympus 720swStrengths: Waterproof, shockproof, sleek design Weakness: image quality for the price I think the image quality is not good enough for the price.. but I am very happy with the waterproof feature that makes me to use inside the pool without any worry. I was expecting to have a carrying case within the package, but it was not included. Anyway, so far I'm happy with my 720sw

Olympus Stylus 720 SW

Fun to Use
Strengths: Waterproof, kidproof, easy
Weakness: dont forget to wipe the drops of lens after in the water.
I have 5 kids, 2 under 5. I can hand them the camera and not worry about it getting wet or dropped. They and I can take pictures I could never have before because there is no need to worry.
