Less than 0.8" thick, this versatile, compact digital camera is designed with the signature style and performance for which the Stylus line is renowned with the added benefits of Shock and Waterproof technology - perfect for any situation, durable enough for shooting in any conditions.

Specifications:
Shock Proof and Waterproof 
 The durable exterior and interior construction of the Stylus 720 SW absorbs impact brought on by a drop or other accidental trauma so your camera and images are protected. Furthermore, the Stylus 720 SW delivers great results to depths up to 10 feet (for up to 1 hour) underwater using the same sealant technology used in underwater housings.
Shockproof according to Olympus test methods. Waterproof equivalent to the IEC standard publication 529 IPX8
 
7.1 Megapixel Resolution
 With 7.1 million pixels of resolution, the Stylus 720 SW boasts remarkably high image quality, producing pictures that stand out in every way, with rich details and vibrant color. You'll even have sufficient image resolution to make prints up to 16 x 20".
 
Olympus 3x Zoom Lens
 The bright 3x optical zoom lens of the Stylus 720 SW provides a 38-114mm focal length (equivalent to 35mm camera), and uses a Folded Light-path Design so the lens does not protrude from the camera body. You can get even closer to the action with a 5x digital zoom that can be combined with the optical zoom for a 15x total seamless zoom.
 
2.5" LCD Screen with Bright Capture Technology
 Images are easier to capture and more impressive to share on the premium-sized 2.5" LCD screen, and shooting in low light is no longer a problem thanks to Bright Capture Technology. Even when it's too dark for your eyes to see, you can preview your subject clearly on the LCD and capture sharp and bright images without having to use a flash.
 
Digital Image Stabilization
 A high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speed mean pictures of moving subjects that typically come out blurry will now be clear and enjoyable
 
Movie Record Function 
 Record Movies in VGA quality with sound (640x480 pixels @ 15fps) with the duration of the video clip only limited by the amount of memory available
 
28 Shooting Modes
 Choose from among 28 pre-set shooting modes to get superior image quality, color and clarity in most any situation - night, sunset, beach & snow, candlelight, under water scene modes and more.
 
TruePic TURBO Image Processor
 The Stylus 720 SW includes the TruePic TURBO image processor that speeds up overall camera operation like start-up and shooting times so you can spend more time using the camera and less time waiting for it.
 
Internal Memory and xD-Picture Cards
 Still photos, and video files can be saved either to the camera's internal 19.1 MB memory or onto optional xD-Picture Cards. The latest High Speed Olympus xD-Picture Cards offer data transfer rates 2-3 times faster than previous media and as well as featuring a panorama function allow various art and 3D effects be applied to images.
 
Guide Function
 Even beginners will quickly master the camera functions thanks to an easy-to-understand Guide Function which briefly explains the various modes and choices directly on the LCD screen.
 
Built-in Image Editing
 Built-in image editing lets you easily fix red-eye, crop, resize, adjust brightness and saturation, convert to black-and-white or sepia, add frames and titles, print calendars and more - all without using a computer.
 
One-Touch Direct Printing
 Connect the camera to any PictBridge-enabled printer, display an image on the LCD, and print it with just the push of a button on the back of the camera...no computer necessary.
 
Easy USB Connection
 The Auto-Connect USB 2.0 interface provides for easy and convenient connection to almost any PC, and the included Olympus Master software makes it simple to Edit, organize, and create using your images.

    "I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Olympus Stylus 720 SW Digital camera! It takes the most beautiful pictures. UNDERWATER...YEP...I went to a water park and was dragging this thing through the water and it was fine. AWESOME. Never had a better one. Takes photos quickly with Great resolution. The only thing is...the battery doesn't last that long.....make sure you have some spares...they are cheap and completely worth it.

    "I have really enjoyed my camera until it broke. I am the mother of a 6 month old, and take non-stop pictures. The only problem that I had with the camera is that it is super fragile. I kept the camera in the baby bag or purse when not using, and just the josiling it received in those bags was enough to make the lens motor stop working. After calling Olympus, they fixed the camera. Otherwise, GREAT CAMERA. Takes beautiful pictures once you put it in the right setting.

    "The Olympus Stylus 720 is an excellent digital camera. I have taken over 4000 pictures with mine since getting it in April 2006. It's light and shoots well under most conditions. I am into photography and like the Olympus brand since owning an Olympus C-5000 film camera. Naturally when I wanted to move to the digital world I opted to stay with Olympus and it has not let me down. I have the 7.1 Megapixel one with a 1 GB XD card. If you want beautiful memories this is the camera for you.

    "I received this Olympus Stylus 720 SW Digital camera for Christmas from my mom and dad. I am a college student and have found it very useful. It is so lightweight that I can carry it in my purse and always have it when I feel a picture needs to be taken. The most amazing part of the camera is that it is water proof. My friends and I took a beach trip and used the camera for a crazy underwater photoshoot. We had so much fun! It is also shock proof up to 5ft, but I haven't dropped it to find out how well that works. Its 7.1 megapixels and 10x zoom make for good quality pictures and help out for remembering all of your fun times. I strongly recommend this camera to anyone who feels like they miss out on tons of photographic opportunities! Most important thing is to learn the features and have fun! "
