Olympus Stylus 770SW underwater demo in swimming pool

Here's my first test of the new Olympus Stylus 770SW. I bought it for it's waterproof abilities so I thought I would test it first in the local pool. Video quality is pretty good, it was early evening so the light was not great. The audio was not brilliant, a bit muffled. But I think this was due to water over the mic slot. On a video taken before and after the audio quality was much better. However there is a faint buzz throughout all the video, not sure why.

Overall I'm very happy, after taking me 5 minutes to pluck up the courage to jump in the pool with the camera.

Enjoy!

I'll need to check it out. Not overly impressed with the sound and video quality from the Olympus. But I figured you have to sacrifice something for the flexibility of use. I've got some videos taken on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia that I will post.

Are you kidding me? I got a camera that goes underwater for only $99 instead of like $500. It even has better video quality.

I think that is 15 frames per second, not at good as the sanyo xacti which has 30 at the same resolution

I'm thinking about getting that camera. Thanks for sharing!
