    Hi guys. We want to upgrade our camera and can't make up our mind between a Pentax Optio W 30 or an Olympus MJU 770 SW. Has anybody had any practical experience of these? We have "googled" both of them but we would like some practical advice. Obviously we want them to be able to take piccies underwater but it doesn't need to be a depth of 10 mtrs. Just to be fussy, we want to be able to take decent terrestial piccies as well. Thanks, in advance [​IMG]

    Thanks Woo. I think we'll probably go with that. They seem to offer a better battery life as well. [​IMG]
