Is useful despite drawbacks

I bought this camera to use while backpacking and canoeing. I was attracted to the waterproof and shockproof features, and it is indeed waterproof (I haven't dropped it yet, so I don't know about the shockproof part). The picture quality is good, but not outstanding, and the various shooting modes are very useful when I remember to use them. It has some serious drawbacks, though. The battery life is poor, so a week-long trip would require at least two extra fully charged batteries. The LCD display is barely visible in bright sunlight and there is no optical viewfinder as an alternative. Finally, like all cameras this size, it's easy to hold it crooked, shake it while taking the picture, or get a finger in front of the lens. I don't regret buying it and I'll use it a lot, but I wish it didn't have these drawbacks.

Timely

I bought the camera for my daughter who had just purchased a kayak. Thought it would be perfect for capturing wildlife pics along Michigan streams without fear of water damage.

The order arrived on my doorstep within minutes of the time that she drove up with the new boat on top of her car. Perfect timing. That weekend she toured the Kalamzoo river with friends and managed to swamp the new boat in fast water. Suddenly realized what a worthy gift this was. Certainly the ideal camera for any boater because we all get wet one way or another at one time or another. And the quality is everything they said. Jewelry beautiful as well.

All are happy and satisfied.

Photo quality decent, underwater feature --> Amazing

So the LCD screen got really scratched up the first time I used it (went tubing down a river so it's mostly my fault). It has shown to be very shock and water-proof. It is really tough to figure out how to take black and white shots.

Great for underwater shots, lacking in optical zoom

I was a little nervous to purchase this camera due to some reviewers who had obviously purchased faulty (leaky) cameras.
I am happy to say that this camera took fabulous underwater shots on my recent cruise to the Bahamas. The shots are clear and perfectly focused.
I knew going in that the optical zoom was not great, but I bought it specifically for the water resistance and am not disappointed.
Another plus is that you can use it straight out of the box - charge up the battery, purchase a card and start shooting. No need to read the manual first.
You do, however, need to submerge the camera in fresh water after taking underwater photos. As I was at the beach, I simply poured drinking water over the camera and set it in the shade to dry. I submerged it in fresh water later back on the ship.
Simple to use, great underwater shots, great in motion shots, good price.

Great waterproof camera, takes great pictures.

I used a Pentax waterproof camera prior to purchasing the Olympus, and was satisfied with that one, but wanted a better quality picture. I purchased the Olympus and got just that! The picture quality is just as good as what I got from my non-waterproof camera, the screen size was great, the camera super easy to use, I couldn't ask for more!

On a side note, I also purchased one of these for my son, and his was defective, malfunctioning as soon as it got in the water. Olympus of course replaced it, I think one of the seals was just bad.

The camera built for life's adventures. The Stylus 790 SW is packed with technology tailored for active people. The Shockproof, Waterproof, Freezeproof and Dustproof design means it's incredibly durable, but it's also sleek and stylish. The new Face Detection feature recognizes subjects' faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portraits. Whether you're playing volleyball at the beach, mountain biking or just hanging out at the pool, the Stylus 790 SW is a must-have vacation and party accessory.
