Olympus Stylus 790 SW: One tough shooter

Olympus_Stylus790_SW_2.jpg

Do you drop your camera a lot? In water? Maybe you often take it into thunderstorms? Dust storms? Ice storms? Iraq? Olympus has the camera for you, danger man. The Stylus 790 SW point-and-shoot is said to be resistant to water, dust, ice, sand, short (5-foot) falls and dirty looks. From the description, you'd think you could plop this 7.1-megapixel shooter in boiling hot magma and it'll still be snapping away. Any volcanologists out there game for that test?

Face detection, 3x zoom, a 2.5-inch LCD, and digital image stabilization top the specs list. The cost of having extremely durable picture-taking abilities: $300. It's perfect gift for that indestructible cheerleader on your list. Save the camera, save the world!
