Product Description

Kit includes: 1) Olympus Stylus 790SW Digital Camera; 2) Olympus 2GB xD-Picture Card; 3) USB Card Reader; 4) Spare Replacement Battery for Olympus Li-42B; 5) Compact Padded Camera Case; 6) Memory Card Wallet; 7) Mini Tabletop Tripod; 8) Image Recovery Software; 9) Microfiber Cleaning Cloth. ♦ The Olympus Stylus 790SW is the world's toughest compact point-and-shoot digital camera. How tough is tough? Tough enough to survive drops up to 5 feet. Tough enough to be waterproof down to 10 feet (and yes, you can even take pictures underwater). Tough enough to be freezeproof down to -10°C/14°F. But besides muscle, it has the brains to make getting great pictures so easy that even a kid can use it. It is also versatile enough with a 3x optical zoom and sharp enough at 7.1 megapixels to take pictures you will love to show family and friends. This is the camera that you don't have to be afraid to take with you anywhere you go. Stop missing out on all those memories because you're afraid to bring a delicate camera with you. The durable Olympus 790SW is perfect for taking photos while snorkeling, fishing, boating, water-skiing, swimming, sunbathing at the beach, mountain biking, skiing, frolicking at a water-park, singing in the rain or enjoying any other outdoor activity that might subject your camera to water, sand, dirt, or mud. ♦ The Olympus 2GB xD-Picture Card is large enough to hold hundreds and hundreds — a whole vacation's worth — of pictures. ♦ The spare replacement Li-42B Rechargeable Battery included in this kit will enable you to shoot twice as much — for twice as long. Digital cameras are like mini-computers with a lens. The battery powers everything. A spare rechargeable battery is truly an essential accessory — otherwise, a dead battery equals no power, and no power means no more pictures. ♦ This value-packed Olympus Stylus 790SW Kit will help give you the family, nature, and vacation photos you've always wanted.

This review is from: Olympus Stylus 790SW 7.1MP Waterproof Digital Camera with Dual Image Stabilized 3x Optical Zoom (Black) + Olympus 2GB xD-Picture Memory Card + USB Card Reader + Spare Li-42B Battery for Olympus + Compact Padded Camera Case (Electronics)

The 790 SW outfit has almost everything one needs to operate this dandy little camera. There is a spare battery and a charger, a neat little tripod, a 2 Gig card, a case, and a snazzy little item, a card reader. The only thing this kit lacks is the gel "skin" cover that increases water resistance and shock resistance.
Everything fits in the case and the camera, extra battery and a spare card can all fit in the outside pocket - very convenient.
I have used the 790SW on a trip which included museums and trips across water with a city in the background. I have used it at my grandchildrens' basketball games. All the pictures turn out and most are of super high quality.
I highly recommend this kit for guys like me who have a top quality, but bulky, SLR and want a camera to keep in your pocket for those special moments or to take across the country inside the passenger compartment of a plane.[[ASIN:B000VPNWIG Olympus Stylus 790SW 7.1MP Waterproof Digital Camera with Dual Image Stabilized 3x Optical Zoom (Black) + Olympus 2GB xD-Picture Memory Card + USB Card Reader + Spare Li-42B Battery for Olympus + Compact Padded Camera Case.

This Camera is great!!!!!

I bought the water housing for it to and I have got allot of really great photos. I have had it down so far only to 30m. The light adjustment is not to bad. I have also taken it hiking and it takes great action shots. I went on one hike and ended up with over 2000 photos!

The only problem I have had is I have been in the tropics and the humidity has caused some fogging on some of the photos, but that was only over a 2 day period and I had been using the camera allot!!! To the point where I crashed the second battery. I am overseas and will take it to the rep this week and they said not a problem, so yes I like my new camera!!!
