Top Olympus Stylus 770 SW Camera Reviews
DigiCamReview wrote a review on the
Olympus Stylus 770 SW and said, "The rugged waterproof,
shockproof, freezeproof, crushproof and dustproof body and solid
build of the digital camera is likely to make the digital camera
last much longer than other digital cameras, this makes it
excellent value for money compared to less solid digital
cameras, and makes it an excellent beach / holiday camera. Image
quality was generally good especially outside, although indoors
some flash photos seemed slightly under-saturated, and images
were slightly soft. Noise was quite well controlled."
Olympus Stylus 770 SW News Release Summary:
Shockproof, Waterproof, Freezeproof and Crushproof Ultra-Compact
Digital Camera is Designed to Capture Amazing Images Anywhere
CENTER VALLEY, Pa, January 25, 2007 – Olympus today rolled out
the toughest digital camera in the Stylus series: the Stylus 770
SW. Built for active lifestyles, the 7.1-megapixel ultra-compact
camera is designed to take great photos in nearly any
environment, including in water down to depths of 33 feet (10
meters) and in winter weather as frigid as 18 degrees below
freezing (14 degrees Fahrenheit; -10 degrees Celsius). It can
also survive falls up to five feet and heavy loads up to 220
pounds of pressure. Within the camera's rugged exterior is an
array of innovative technologies to ensure clear, sharp images
in the roughest of shooting situations.
The Stylus 770 SW boasts several signature features:
1. Shockproof, waterproof, freezeproof and
crushproof, the Stylus 770 SW's rugged body design is strong
enough to sustain life's adventures;
2. A large, bright 2.5-inch HyperCrystal™ LCD
improves shooting and sharing pictures in bright-light and
low-light situations; and
3. Digital Image Stabilization boosts ISO
sensitivity and shutter speed to capture crisp, clear pictures
when you or your subject is moving.
"Olympus pioneered the shockproof and waterproof category in
2006 with the Stylus SW series, and in many ways has changed the
face of digital photography," said Michael Barnett, product
manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "Today, we're unveiling
the Stylus 770 SW, which offers extended waterproof
capabilities, increased durability and enhanced LCD performance.
It's perfect for the great outdoors or a night on the town, and
it's truly the anytime, anywhere digital camera."
Designed to Withstand Drops from Five Feet
Built with durable materials and shock-absorption technology
that minimizes the impact delivered to the lens and circuitry
when dropped, the Stylus 770 SW delivers superior durability in
a premium point-and-shoot digital camera.
Offers Increased Waterproof Capabilities
Take great photos down to 33 Feet (10 Meters)
By combining a lightweight, stainless steel exterior with rubber
gaskets and O-rings to seal the interior from the elements,
Olympus delivers a slim body design that performs as well under
water (down to 33 feet/10 meters below the surface) as it does
on land. Also, the inclusion of four custom underwater scene
modes make the Stylus 770 SW the perfect camera for the pool,
snorkeling and scuba diving. For those who want to explore
greater depths, the PT-035 underwater housing, designed
specifically for the Stylus 770 SW, enables the camera to
venture approximately 130 feet (40 meters) beneath the surface.
Built-in Manometer Records Depth and Altitude
The Stylus 770 SW offers the first built-in manometer, which
measures water and air pressure, enabling you to accurately
monitor the depth or altitude of your images. It's the perfect
camera for adventure-seekers who want to snap shots while scuba
diving, hiking and skiing. The depth and altitude are recorded
when each image is taken, and the information is stored within
each picture's digital file. Wow friends and family with the
exact depth or altitude of your favorite underwater snapshot,
mountain landscape or any other image!
Water-Repellant Lens Coating
The Stylus 770 SW features a water-repellant lens coating to
prevent water droplets from forming on the lens so you get
crystal clear shots no matter how wet the shooting environment.
Freezeproof for Winter's Bitter Cold
Harsh winter weather doesn't stop outdoor enthusiasts, athletes
and sports fans. Don't let it stop you from capturing memorable
moments. The Stylus 770 SW performs when mother nature dips
below freezing (14 degrees Fahrenheit; -10 degrees Celsius).
Crushproof to 220 Pounds-Force
Thin enough to fit in a back pocket, the camera also features a
durable stainless steel body and reinforced LCD panel engineered
to withstand loads of up to 220 pounds-force. So you do not have
to worry about damaging your camera in a backpack, luggage or by
simply sitting down.
Large 2.5-Inch HyperCrystal™ LCD
The Stylus 770 SW boasts a large, high-resolution HyperCrystal™
LCD, which enables clear, high-contrast images. It increases the
brightness of the LCD for better visibility in low-light and
bright-light situations — perfect for composing subjects
underwater or in direct sunlight. Images are also viewable on
the 2.5-inch LCD from 140-degrees, enabling photos to be
composed from a wider range of angles and viewed by several
people at once.
Digital Image Stabilization
The Stylus 770 SW features Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) for
capturing crisp, clear pictures. By boosting the camera's ISO
sensitivity and shutter speed, DIS freezes the action and
provides blur-free images.
Bright Capture Technology for Easy Low-Light Photography
Low-light photography has never been easier thanks to Olympus'
revolutionary Bright Capture Technology. A brightened preview on
the LCD enables simple composition; and with specific scene
modes for high sensitivity settings (up to ISO 1600) and rapid
auto-focus, even fast-action photos can be captured under low
levels of available light.
LED Illuminator
An LED Illuminator works like a mini-flashlight on the front of
the camera to enhance focus during macro shooting — great for
underwater close-ups where light is scarce. The LED also works
in conjunction with Bright Capture to help illuminate your
subject when taking low-light portraits.
7.1-Megapixel Image Sensor for Superior Image Quality
The 7.1-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the Stylus 770 SW
delivers high-quality images that are consistently sharp and
vivid even in large-format prints — up to poster sizes as large
as 16 x 20 inches.
Stylish, Compact, Rugged Design
The Stylus 770 SW combines light, durable body construction and
shock-absorbing materials throughout the interior with the
sealant technology used in Olympus underwater housings. In
addition to the shockproof, waterproof and crushproof
construction, the Stylus 770 SW features the stainless steel
body and clean, smooth lines that make it the ideal pocket
camera. At a thickness of less than 0.8 inch, the camera easily
slips into a pocket, handbag or backpack.
High Quality Olympus Lens Elements
Olympus lenses are known worldwide for producing sharp, vibrant
image quality. This is achieved through a number of key
technologies, such as Olympus ED and high-refractive lens
elements, designed specifically for digital cameras. The 3x lens
provides the equivalent of 38 to 114mm focal length in 35mm
photography to bring the action closer, and a Super Macro Mode
that captures details as nuanced as the iridescent petals of a
flower, from as close as 2.8 inches.
TruePic TURBO™ for High-Speed Response
Olympus' exclusive TruePic TURBO™ Image Processor enhances image
quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds for rapid
startup, shutter release and playback. TruePic TURBOTM enables
the Stylus 770 SW to capture information from all 7.1 million
pixels with pixel "micro-smoothing" that delivers clearer and
more color-accurate photos. The fast startup of less than one
second and nearly instant shutter release time ensures a
high-speed response so your camera is always ready to take great
pictures.
27 Selectable Shooting Modes
With 24 pre-programmed scene modes, such as Beach & Snow,
Available Light Portrait, Sunset, and Under Water Snapshot, the
Stylus 770 SW makes it easy to capture beautiful images in a
variety of lighting and shooting situations. Also, with its
Movie Mode, the Stylus 770 SW can record VGA-quality videos with
sound — above and below the water's surface - limited only by
the size of the internal memory or xD-Picture Card™ in the
camera.
In-camera Editing
With in-camera editing features such as red-eye fix, resizing,
adding frames or text, and color brightness or saturation
adjustments, users can edit photos anywhere with ease — touch up
or embellish your photos without your computer.
OLYMPUS Master™ Software
OLYMPUS Master™ software provides the ultimate in digital
imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes
downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are
easily organized by folders or albums. And with one-click
editing tools, such as red-eye removal, images can be touched up
before printing or e-mailing. Online support, templates,
firmware upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click
away. Use the optional muvee™ Theater Pack to create
professional quality slide shows and DVDs from your pictures
using any of several built-in templates.
Olympus Premium and Sporty Carrying Cases
Olympus offers premium cases in six colors, including chocolate
suede and red leather. A sporty neoprene case is also available
for the Stylus 770 SW and is perfect for active or outdoor
situations.

The Stylus 770 SW will be available in March 2007. It includes:
