Great for any expedition if you carry extra batteries and take off auto stuff like sound, zoom ... Great pictures takenwhere I wan't able to carry my SLR Nikon D70.
High capacity 2GB memory cards for 700 pictures in hq 3072 x 2304 with same battery and 6 movies of 15m.
Extremely disappointed

My wife and I bought a 770SW a few weeks ago for our daughter. I had extremely high hopes due to it's durability and most importantly, it's underwater ability. I'm not new to photography. I shoot with a Canon 30D and have a Canon A80 point and shoot. I looked at the pictures my daughter had taken with the 770 and I thought she'd messed something up. The noise was horrendous. I messed around with the settings and still couldn't get consistently good quality photos. I even compared it to my 4 megapixel A80 and the little Canon won every time. Needless to say, I was so disappointed with the Olympus. I really wanted this to be a great camera. In the end, we returned it and bought a Sony DSC-T100. The quality of pictures is night and day. I really hope Olympus gets it together. They've got a GREAT package if they can improve the image quality.
Durability and Quality

Being a graphic designer, I have had my fair share of cameras from manual to digital alike. This camera I would say is the most durable camera I have used, not only does it allow you to take shots in weird positions, but heck you can take it on whatever adventure you go on.. rain or shine.
I love this camera. Some other reviewers say the picture quality is not good, but it all depends on the camera man. If you know how to work your settings properly this camera takes GREAT shots.. Like the gentleman that talked about the $10 dollar indoor shot.. Try pressing the record button once more, and it will automatically set your camera to the prime setting.
Its all about camera settings, no matter what camera you use. If you are a true photographer, you know what I am talking about. Check your settings, or learn alittle bit more about what settings work best for the situation.
LOVE this camera

I travel a lot- and I don't have children - but I am rough on my technology - this camera is easy to use - and great photos - looked and have had many cameras w/ manual options - but i never could figure out how to use it - but this one is easy to use - great for going out to the bars w/ the occasional drop or spill...

Not Waterproof at all. Pure Rubbish in water. It lets down the camera.
