Win an Olympus camera

Olympus µ [mju:] Stylus 790 SW review

Photographs have always been a big part of the BM community, with the gallery positively bulging at the seams it's clear you enjoy packing your camera on rides and sharing your best photos with the readers.

We enjoy seeing your pics too, but feel some of you are holding back on us. So by way of encouragement, Olympus has just sent us one of its brand new rugged [mju:] Stylus 790 SW camera's, and asked that we give it to the most deserving reader.

And to find that lucky reader we've devised an exciting competition. There's no easy questions to answer here, instead we want to see your greatest shots. We're simply asking that you show all your best photos in the forum thread below this article (or linked here), of which the BM team will then pick the best ten after the two weeks is up. We'll then put those ten photos to public vote to find the one winner.

The great thing about this new Olympus camera is that it's properly rugged for outdoor use. That means it's actually waterproof enough to pass IEC 529 IXP8 standards (which means it will survive being up to 3m underwater) and shockproof to MIL-STD-810F (which means a US soldier could drop it from a height of 1.5m onto the roof of a Humvee and still salute it). The battery/xD card slot and the USB port are all hidden behind weathersealed doors too. You can read more about in the review here.
