I recently purchased the Olympus 770SW after having 2 Pentax Optio's leak.  I 
am still getting familiar with the 770 and so far am happy. However, like  
other point and shoots the LCD in sunlight is almost useful. Camera designers  
obviously do not use their products in real conditions. Wish they would include 
 an old fashioned viewfinder.
sid
these two: Olympus Stylus 720 SW and the Pentax Optio W30.   

I currently have the older Pentax Optio 43WR, and, while this camera  
takes great pictures and is definitely waterproof, I hate it because the  
LCD screen is basically not visible in sunlight.   Hence, I'm  currently 
leaning towards the Olympus.

Any  thoughts?

Thanks!

John
