The Olympus Mju 725SW is a shock and waterproof 7.1-mega pixel camera. The good is that it has great image quality, it’s easy to use and it’s got a nice lense. The bad is that it has a 15fps maximum movie frame rate, and it lacks manual/creative control. Pocket-Lint has reviewed the Olympus Mju 725SW and they write:

“Waterproofed to a depth of 5 metres (about 15-feet) and shock-proofed for drops from 1.5-metres (around 5 feet) and supplied with a neat Velcro (outdoor) carry anywhere case, including a karabiner to lock it to a belt or harness. The case works well despite the camera looking a tad exposed on my arm on a run; it did not budge from its case.

The camera comes with a very bright and clear 2.5-inch colour screen, a 3x optical zoom lens giving a 38-114mm focal length range and modest maximum apertures of F/3.5 to F/5. There are 25 scene modes that provide a good range of automatic shooting options including portrait and landscape modes, sports and a candle plus a few less ordinary options such as a cuisine mode. The movie mode provides 640 x 480-pixel resolution clips with audio to the limit of the storage in use, but at a disappointing 15fps maximum.”

Additionally they write: “I’m glad to write, the image quality lives up to the build, with the Digital ESP metering working very well indeed (though you do have the bonus of spot metering as well). The focus had a few problems if rushed but otherwise worked well, particularly using the excellent Super Macro mode. Colour is vibrant (thanks to that BrightCapture Technology) but not overly so and in terms of detail, the 725 compares very well indeed. In fact it produces more detail than Casio’s Z1000 compact (I tested that one a while ago) and yet that had 3-megapixel worth of extra resolution. Typically, noise is associated with small sensored, 10-megapixel cameras such as the Z1000.”
