Olympus camera dives to new depths

Olympus_1 Sister site Computer Active has just published its review of the waterproof  Olympus Mju 720 SW digital camera, which can be taken to a depth of 3 metres - more than enough to use when snorkelling on your holidays.

It can also be dropped from a height of about 1.5m, so is tough enough to cope with slippery fingers – and hey – it was great fun to drop kit you know you don’t have to pay for. Except this little camera didn’t break.

Like many of the digital cameras coming out, its super slim, dead easy to slip into a pocket and takes good pictures. It comes in three colours, dusty pink, polar blue and a boring steel silver. 

You can read the full review of the Olympus Mju 720 SW here. And while on the site, you can also read its review of the Tivoli Audio iSongBook speakers.

Isongbook These are designed for your iPod, and while not water resistant, are weather proof. Although we can’t see why we’d carry these speakers around. But they have a neat retro look, decent sound quality and even have an alarm clock to wake you in the morning. 

The downside? They are an overpriced £300.

Do not stop! (Absolute Classics) (love joke) has a common girl's mother very strict control. One was a boyfriend called to see a movie, the Pro asked my mother to go and said: "out to be a bit smart-point not to be a man an advantage, if he touched the top you say you do not, below you die you say stop." Girls remember that night back to her mother asked her if she had not been taken advantage of, the girl cried and said: "accounted for, he touched down with me, and I will teach as you say: Do not stop, do not stop."

I bought this lens mainly because of price. It was the longest lens with AF and IS I could get without busting my budget as I bought the Rebel XSI at the same time. I took it to a stock car race and brought back some GREAT pictures. I still wish I had a little more lens but I was delighted with how well the lens zoomed in and focused. Our seats were near the top of the stands and the lens made it possible to read the patches on the driver's uniforms on pit road. I also took some city shots and the lens performed well. I took great steady shots without the need of a tripod. If you need a good versitile lens that doesn't break the bank, I recommend this one without reservation.

Thats some good basics there, already know some of that, but you can always learn more. I doubt a “kid” could put together such information as dolphin278 suggested. Maybe he’s just trying to be “controversial? lol

I have been looking at getting a digital camera for weeks, but I still can't decide what one to get!
