Waterproof camera: Pentax Optio W10 or Olympus mju 720SW ?

I've had the Oly 720sw for about a month now. Takes nice point and shoot
and has good menu system. This camera does not have two things you may see
advertised as features: image stabilization & histogram. The image
stabilization advertised for the 720sw is just a mode that kicks up the ISO
& shutter speed setting. Don't know if the would be a deal killer for you.

I would buy the camera again because it works great for me as a pocket,
carry around & in the pool fun point and shoot camera. I have other cameras
with image stabilization & histogram if needed. Hope this feedback helps
you.

Hi Hans

Just unpacked my mju 720SW last night - when I've had a chance to have a
good play with it I'll get back to you

Real strange feeling taking a brand new camera and dunking it in the
fishpond in the garden
