Review: "Back in June I reviewed the Olympus mju 720 SW, a seven-megapixel compact camera designed for extreme durability - shockproof and waterproof to a depth of three metres. I had several reservations about it, not least its limited battery life, over-complicated control interface and disappointing picture quality, but I guess someone must have liked it because it won the prestigious EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) award for the best pocket camera of 2006. I can only assume they didn't look at many others.
Unsurprisingly it has exactly the same faults on the 725, and so the comments that I made about that camera's picture quality apply to this one too. As well as the problems with the lens, I found that the images were over-processed, suffered from colour noise even at 200 ISO, and had visible compression artefacts."
