I am considering buying one of these Olympus µ 720SW for taking down to the river, does anyone have any experience with this camera and if so what do you think?

I am also in the near future looking to upgrade my Fuji Finepix 5500 any advice would be welcomed, my budget would be around £300.

My thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies fellas I have almost talked myself into getting the Olympus and I think I am going to replaced my Fuji finepix with a Nikon D40X. Now I just have to convince the wife

take a look at the pentax optio w30. they say its easier to use than the olympus and its cheaper.

I got the Pentax Optio after comparing reviews and it seemed to come out a bit better than the Olympus in terms of both price and performance. The Optio is dead simple to use and has plenty of settings, and takes a decent underwater shot. I got it more for its general waterproofedness when fishing rather than any real need for underwater shots. About £160 online.

Thanks Guys does anyone have any underwater shots they could show me please.
