I really donīt know Olympus quality but seeing your pics Iīm sure itīs good....

well itīs not that I tend to drop things........well maybe some times .... but I would feel much safer using a carry along camera without worrying about anything that could happen to it in the process....
I really worry a LOT about my cameras but if need be I want to be safe *if* I did dropped it....


besides itīs not like I need the waterproof feature(donīt have pool, beach, lake or anything like it), but if given the opportunity I would love to be able to take some underwater shots.....

I saw also the 790 which costs a bit less than the 720 and itīs the same, not sure why...

I also need to consider getting a spare memory card as all I have are SD cards.... but those I can use when *if* I get a S5-S3-Rebel as a Christmas present
