I am looking for a new camera, and here are my two options. The pentex optio 30wr or the olympus stylus 770 sw. Which camera has the better macro for taking close ups of flies. I read through the achives and but couldn't find much on macro settings.

 

Thanks

there both great dude..i love my optio btu a few of my friends have the olympus and it works great too.......if u find yourself dropping stuff lots the olympus has a higher shock value than the pentax

Does the Olympus have a good macro mode? I cannot find the optio here in the bridge as it doesn't seem to be available, but the Olympus is. I just thought if the optio was better I would just order via the internet.

 

Thanks

Both good, but I've had more time on the Optio WPi (go for a WPi rahter than the WR, water Proof vs water resistant). it has a great Macro setting on it. The shock value of the Olympus is a pretty good thing to have. We had a demo and dropped it a number of times with no ill effects.

Andrew I went there last week and they don't have it. They only have the Olympus 790. Future shop no longer has the optio but carry the oly too.
