What I want for Christmas

The camera built for life's adventures. The Stylus 790 SW is packed with technology tailored for active people. The Shockproof, Waterproof and Freezeproof design means it's incredibly durable, but it's also sleek, stylish and available in five cool color options. The new Face Detection feature recognizes subjects' faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portraits. Whether you're playing volleyball at the beach, mountain biking or just hanging out at the pool, the Stylus 790 SW is a must-have vacation and party accessory.


SHOCKPROOF (5FT).
It's a tough little camera. The durable metal body, floating circuit board and innovative shock-absorbing construction protects your Stylus 790 SW camera and images from drops up to 5 feet.

WATERPROOF (10FT).
Don't just take it to the pool, take it in the pool. Innovative, waterproof seals and gaskets allow you to take amazing underwater pictures and movies in the pool or even in the ocean.

FREEZEPROOF (-10°C/14°F).
It's perfect for skiing, snowboarding, sledding and other winter fun, because it's winterized to perform at below-freezing temperatures. You can take great pictures even in extreme weather conditions.

FACE DETECTION.
Automatically focuses on your subjects' faces and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.

Features and Benefits

The high-resolution, 7.1-megapixel image sensor delivers superior quality for larger prints without sacrificing detail.


The precision-crafted 3x optical zoom Olympus lens delivers sharper, clearer images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step.


The 2.5" HyperCrystal™ LCD provides an extra-wide viewing angle and anti-glare technology that make it easy to compose and shoot. Plus, it lets you share photos with family and friends even in bright, direct sunlight.

Digital Image Stabilization combines high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds so you can freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free images.


Certified as an Olympus Eco-product, this camera has a reduced environmental footprint across its entire product lifecycle, which encompasses not only the product and its packaging, but also the manufacturing and logistical processes in bringing the product to the marketplace.

Accidents happen, but the Shockproof Stylus 790 SW is nearly accident proof. A rugged metal body and revolutionary shock-absorbing construction are designed to withstand a 5-foot drop, bump or other mishap.

Take it swimming, snorkeling or to the water park. The revolutionary system of waterproof seals and gaskets keeps water out, so you can take movies and pictures as deep as 10 feet.

It's the ideal camera for the slopes and sledding with the kids, because it's winterized to perform at below-freezing temperatures (-10°C/14°F).


Face Detection makes it easy to take portraits. It tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant photos.


Shadow Adjustment Technology will help you capture all the amazing details exactly as you see them. You'll capture smiles, even in backlight scenes; you'll pick up detail, even in the shadows cast by bright sunlight.

Developed for the professional digital SLR, the TruePicTM III Image Processor redefines image quality by delivering true-to-life color, smoother edges and less noise.

Before you take the shot, let Perfect Shot Preview display the effects of various settings including zoom, exposure, white balance and metering - right on the LCD.
