Just when I was about to buy the Pentax optio WPI Olympus launched its 720 SW camera. Does anybody already have experience (or sample pics) with this camera? I need a water resistant camera which can be submerged into water (depth not really important). Both cameras qualify, but the question is: which camera makes the best pics? What about the options? I am going to use the camera in all kinds of situations, do both perform well in all situations? Thanks in advance!

There are reviews to read and user comments to peruse about the Pentax WPI, but the Olympus Stylus 720 is to new for either. It will take some time before we see any reviews or user comments. I did notice that the Olympus 720SW has only a F 3.5 lens rather than the normal F 2.8 lens.

You might want to do some more research on the 720SW home page:
