Summary: Olympus's Stylus 780 packs a 7.1 megapixel sensor, a 5x optical zoom, a crisp 2.5-inch LCD, and face-detection technology into a weatherproof camera body that is slightly larger but more stylish than the Sony DSC-W80's.

Conclusion: Overall, however, image quality was not quite up to the standards set by Fuji’s F40fd, but if you live in harsh climates or like to shoot pictures in the rain, the Stylus 780 is a rock-solid choice.

Pro : Weatherproof; newb-friendly help system; shadow adjustment; good color saturation

Cons : Image quality not as good as FujiFilm's F40FD

Summary: Mediocre point-and-shoot camera with strong mechanical image stabilisation, and little else to be excited about, apart from reasonable performance at higher ISO settings. Features are far too standard for this price, and claims of weatherproofing are...

Conclusion: Mechanical image stabilisation and decent high-ISO performance wins the mju 780 points, but for slightly less money you could get the Pentax Optio W30, an actually waterproof camera that takes SD cards

Pro : Decent high-sensitivity performance ; 5x zoom

Cons : Digital image stabilisation button ; Lacklustre features ; XD only
