Deborah Hargroves of the Massie Heritage Center (Savannah, GA) says her favorite is her Olympus Stylus 720 SW. “Its lightweight, slim design makes it easy to carry with me in my pocket anywhere I go.” It is shockproof and waterproof (good classroom attributes!), offers 7.1 megapixels, has a 3x optical and 5x digital zoom, and simple in-camera editing capability (such as red eye fix), built-in flash, and the ability to print without a computer (when using a PictBridge enabled printer). www.olympusamerica.com/education/ AD INDEX COMPANY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
