Now, our son is not a heavy man so we were perplexed that it crushed. The crush job destroyed the LCD screen. But since it had been less than 1 year, we contacted Olympus and sent the camera with receipt to them and received the repaired (and new looking) camera very quickly. We were quite pleased that Olympus honored the crush warranty for this camera. from Amazon.com I have taken pictures in the rain, dropped the camera and still great photos. In Belize, I banged the camera on the ladder after snorkeling, however, I was still able to take great photos using a "point and shoot" method as I was unable to see the image on the LCD screen (handy information should this happen to you) and I had to weigh the price of repair versus a new camera (of course, I would upgrade to the 1030 if I bought a new one) and opted for the repair. Fast, reliable service with good repair of my camera (and they gave me a new battery too), thanks Olympus. Back to taking great photos within a week. from Amazon.com Olympus Stylus 790SW 7.1MP Waterproof Digital Camera with Dual Image Stabilized 3x Optical Zoom (Orange) from Amazon.com I have purchase 7 of the Olympus Stylus 790SW cameras for the City in their Parks & Rec, Building & Zoning, Engineering, and Utilities departments. They are sturdy and easy to use. from Amazon.com they freeze, even after carrying them in an inner pocket to keep them warm. SO, I was hunting for a camera specifically for outdoor photography in the winter on the slopes. The Olympus Stylus 790SW is almost perfect for the job. First, when outfitted with an in-specification memory card and a fully charged battery, it works great in the cold! from Amazon.com 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! from Amazon.com In the past two years, ive owned a canon powershot, and a kodak easyshare camera. This Olympus is definatly the most tolerant camera ive had. I bought it mainly for the underwater capability and its definitly exeeded my expectations. from Amazon.com Video recording Limitations: Another deal breaker. The VGA resolution of recording has a 10 sec limit. There is a firmware update that allows unlimited (card limit) recording but Olympus only released it for the 1030sw and 850sw. Even then, the limit is 4gb but that is not even a factor as the 790 has no update available. from Amazon.com I bought the Olympus Stylus 790SW for my daughter and figured the waterproof camera would be great around our pool. The camera, at least the one I purchased, is not waterproof. from Amazon.com Instead of being glad to have a camera that will put up with a beating, I'm bummed that it will do so, because it means i'll be stuck with bad pictures until this camera breaks, which is going to be a long time. Maybe I'll sell it on ebay. Another frustration with this camera is that Olympus, in their mythic wisdom, decided to make their USB connection proprietary. That is - you cannot use a normal USB-b cable with this to download your pictures. from Amazon.com
