I have the 770 SW and it's great. Pictures are fair, beatibility factor is great. For some reason Tynan's shots with the same camera come out far better than mine. His identical camera must be better somehow

Face recog software sometimes causes issues with pics. If you turn off some of the software you can get better pictures. I am still fooling around with mine.

I'll need to look at it...

One thing I have a gripe about with my 770 camera is that occasionally it is hard getting the saltwater spots and the sand out behind the lens cover. Those spots are especially annoying as they leave little blur marks in photos on occasion. Did not notice it better or worse after dropping but maybe I'll have my kid take it swimming in a pool again to give it a good cleaning - or the tub

no tub, soap scum is a bitch on cameras

Ditto.

Mines been underwater in the pool several times this summer and works great. It has a sliding lens cover which is supposed to be good for keeping sand, etc... from getting into the shutter. It's also been dropped on concrete and has nothing more than a tiny scratch to show for it. Picture quality is good and I've found the video quality to be better than expected based on what I read in the reviews.
