Review of Olympus Stylus 770SW, waterproof camera

Posted under Diving Gear & Underwater Photography

Stylus 770SWThe Stylus 770 SW is an amazing 7 MP digital camera with Digital Image Stabalization that’s rated to go underwater up to 33 feet (10m). Scubadiverinfo.com really put it to the test, taking it down to 77 feet and it worked properly.

The buttons on this one didn’t get pushed in by water pressure and all controls worked even at nearly 80 feet. What did happen was that the water pressure apparently pushed in the glass of the LCD enough to cause a black rectangle in the center of the 2.5-inch display. It disappeared as she ascended and the camera was none the worse for wear. And no leakage either. That’s just amazing.
