joncrescent's Full Review: Olympus Stylus 770 SW Digital Camera
I bought this TOUGH camera primarily for its shock and waterproof features, because my son broke a brand new Canon IXUS within a week due to poor handling.

The biggest issue for me regarding the 770 is the clunky user interface. Forget about a quick switch from camera-to-video mode. The Olympus takes good pictures but it is far from idiot-proof as our low-end Canon SD100.

We often travel with both cameras and I find myself fumbling through the 770's menus to find the right setting or mode to get take the perfect picture. On the other hand, during those precious moments, my wife had already taken a great shots within seconds of powering on the SD100.

Shutter Lag? The image processor on the 770 also seems picky before capturing the shot. As a result, the 770 is less consistent with producing high quality pictures, on average, than the idiot-proof SD100.

Nevertheless, I bought this camera for the right reasons and would recommend it to those who needs a tough camera. Don't buy this if you want consistent high quality pictures.

I got it with two batteries and two memory chips, and we have not other issues.
