Olympus Stylus 720SW: a water sports camera

Kevin Kelly from Cool Tools has posted a hands on review of the Olympus Stylus 720SW digital camera.
Stylus 720SW’s main features are:
- Shockproof (5 ft.)
- Waterproof (10 ft.)
- Bright capture technology
- Image stabilization mode
- Large 2.5" LCD screen
- 7.1 Megapixel
- 3X optical zoom
- 28 shooting modes
The shockproof and waterproof features in addition to its low cost (less than $300 at Amazon) make this camera an inexpensive alternative for underwater photography to more sophisticated solutions.


Kevin uses his experience in underwater photography to test this camera. He concludes: "For me this tiny clam is the cheapest way to digitally photograph underwater at shallow depths".

It’s a good option and has a good price. Doesn’t need any case or specific device for water protection, and it make this camera more atractive.
Congratulations for your blog. Keep feeding with good posts !!!!
