I just picked up an Olympus 725 SW on Overstock.com for $230 refurbished. Not all the bells and whistles of the 770 but it takes great pics. BTW I saw the exact same camera for $379 at Costo, yes the 725 SW.

Mox,
1) Where did you pick up a floating wrist band?
2) First pic, that's the complete opposite of a Viking ship! Nice.

FYI...Circuit City had/has the 770SW camera priced at $325. Plus, you can get a EPSON 4" x 6" picture printer free after rebate. I couldn't find a local store that had both in stock, so I just had Best Buy price match the camera (I hear the cost/picture to print at home isn't competitive in the long run). No local places had the 1 gig XD Type H (higher write speed) memory card, so the pictures were taken at a lower quality setting to get more on the internal 18mb of memory.

Anyone have anymore cool pics?

Take care,
Paul

Costco of course.

All my friends are wanting the same camera but they never seem to have them anymore. You might want to try the Olympus website. It is great, just yesterday my friends were swimming to shore and about halfway there they wanted the camera...so all I had to do is throw it near them in the water and they got to take pics of our weekly mud fights. Yes I said mud fights with girls in bikinis...it is awful I tell ya!
