Olympus Stylus 720

[Douglas_Fisher]

Any one had a go on this camera?
Its a 7mgpxl point and shoot AW(all weather) good for down to 10 feet underwater.
I think it would suit my watery lifestyle , as I swim everyday 8 months of the year, and it rains the other 4.
I would hope to produce files suitable for stock .
I wonder if the files can be read by CS2.
I understand it takes a special card that must be purchased from Oympus. (x card?)
They will be in stock here in NZ next week.

so I bought one yesterday and have charged it up and read a bit of the manual.
Nice and metally.
Feels solid. Shoots nice files. Ive uprezed one to 50mb and it would pass quality control for most stock agencies.
Focus might be an issue underwater as it needs something pretty definite to lock on.
Bit of shutter lag - more rtfn required.
Waiting for high tide and I will take it swimming at 4pm.
More in a week as were off for a week.
