Olympus Stylus 725 SW (mju 725 SW Digital) review

Our Olympus 725 SW have been with us for quite some years now, and it is a perfect camera for point and shoot while out paddling.

It has by now been superseeded by similar cameras with more pixels, and
more features, but it still works well.

Problems:

Except poor performance in dark light and a bad battery, none. We bought an extra battery, non-Olympus-branded, which we eventually had to return to the retailer, as it worked very erraticly, while the company that made it found no problems with it. Happily the retailer reimbursed us, and we got a second Olympus battery, that has worked much better!

Still, occasionally, the camera claims the battery is discharged, but after restarting the camera everything is fine again! Weird!
