value conscious, technically savvy, a frequent traveler, love to take nature shots, hard to impress
I have been taking underwater photos for more than 25 years and find this small, simple to use camera a great companion for sailing, windsurfing and snorkling trips and well as skiing and other outdoor activities where snap shots will do. The picture quality is fine and the features (movie, snow etc) are most of what snap shot photographers need. Cons:The zoom is only 3x and it has no view finder making it difficult to frame a picture in very bright light. Not very useful for scuba diving since it is limited to 10 ft underwater. Bottom line...always have it with you on vacation. I keep it in…

loving my digital camera
I have 2 SLR digital cameras and love them. But both were too bulky to carry on an overseas trip where I wanted to pack light but still get lots of quality photos. After searching through the camera aisles, I finally settled on the Olympus Stylus 790SW. I'm thrilled with my choice. It has a clear view of the photo that will be stored--no surprises.

With the 1g…

love photography, pc-user, Not technically savvy, simple is good, value conscious, cost-conscious, practical, a comparison shopper
This is a great camera and a wonderful value for the money. Day time pictures and night pictures are clear. Many menu choices to help you get the best picture possible for what ever the scene is. The software for the pc that comes with the camera is great and easy to use. It will help you make very professional photos. This camera can be used for underwater photos and catchs clear photos of moving objects. It can also take small videos. I would buy this camera again and again. I have taken many pictures in various settings and have not been disappointed with any of them. If you are…

somewhat tech savvy
The Olympus Stylus 790SW Digital Camera is the best digital camera I have ever owed. I have been thru 4 Sony digital cameras that died on me within a year of purchase. After lots of research I found out that Olympus was making some great long lasting cameras that can be dropped and still work flawlessly. I would recommend the 790SW to any one, if this model isn't your cup of tea make sure to buy a Olympus model digital camera, they have a large selection for all different types of needs. — —…

However, this camera has allowed me to go swimming, skiing, hiking, kyaking, partying, and so much more. It has great quality and is easy to…
