The Olympus Stylus 800 Digital (Mju 800 Digital in UK) just gets better with each new iteration of the model. New with 8MP resolution on a larger 1/1.8 in. CCD image sensor, it maintains a 3x optical zoom, an extra large and bright 2.5-in. HyperCrystal© LCD monitor which provides a sharp, clear picture in bright as well as low-light conditions.

One of the main attraction of the Olympus Stylus 800 is its All-Weather capability: Strategically placed seals and gaskets protect the camera from moisture and dust. Note that it is not waterproof [for that, you need the Stylus 720 SW].

The Olympus Stylus 800 provides 24 useful shooting modes, including Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Priority, manual exposure control and QuickTime (640 x 480) with sound, to get the best results. A built-in Help GUIDE provides tips to help you decide which setting is ideal for each situation.

A new Bright Capture Technology allows for enhanced previewing and image quality in low light. The flash working range has been enhanced to 21.3 ft. with Program Auto (W), and 42.0 ft. with ISO1600 (W).

PictBridge technology enables photos to be printed directly from the Olympus Stylus 800 to any PictBridge-enabled printer.

The Olympus Stylus 800 Digital should appeal to beginner and serious photographers desiring a compact, tough, all-weather digital camera with the famous ease-of-use of the Stylus line of cameras, now with flexible exposure control.

If you don't need the added exposure flexibility of Shutter-Priority and Aperture-Priority modes, check out the Olympus Stylus 810 Digital for US $50 less.
