Giving skiers, snowboarders and other winter sports fans the perfect gear they need to capture the stunning images and magic moments of their snow-bound exploits, Olympus has released the 790 SW Winter Kit.
In addition to the shock, water and freezeproof 790 SW camera in Starry Silver, the kit also includes a neoprene case, a stylish Rossignol beanie and a fun snow tube. With this great combination, there's no time like now to hit the slopes.
Built for action, the Olympus 790 SW boasts exceedingly tough attributes. Shockproof to 1.5m, waterproof to 3m, and freezeproof to -10?C, this camera is engineered to withstand the demands of some of the harshest photographic conditions and will take the knocks, drops and ice-cold temperatures of a full day in the snow in its stride. Yet despite its rugged characteristics, this stylish camera for high-octane lifestyles looks great and doesn't compromise on photographic features.
The 790 SW puts advanced opto-digital technology to work to immortalise the thrills and spills of the winter calendar. For versatility in locating and framing subjects, the 7.1 Megapixel camera features a 3x optical zoom (equiv. to 38-114mm). The solid model also has the ability to recognise human faces as the main subject of a composition thanks to Face Detection Technology. Multiple scene modes are also available to optimise photographic settings for many other common shooting situations.
