We've often thought about adding an extra element to our strenuous testing procedures -- the destroyer challenge. This would measure the time it takes to break a gadget irreparably. Does it smash when dropped, crack when sat on or drown pathetically in a pint of beer?


Those tough-nuts over at Olympus, however, are one step ahead of us. They've obviously thought this through when creating the Olympus µ mju 790 compact camera. It's shockproof, waterproof and even freezeproof, so you can stick it in your back pocket and go off-piste down the nearest snow-covered mountain. The camera should still be fully operable when you reach the bottom -- whether or not you are is a different story.


This 7.1-megapixel beauty comes in four colours -- Starry Silver, Midnight Black, Sunset Orange or Marine Blue. It features 3x optical zoom, Face Detection and BrightCapture technology, which automatically adjusts the contrast, lightening shadowy areas to deliver stunningly realistic results.


Whether you're planning a snowboarding holiday, a white-water rafting trip or you just want to take pictures of ducks in the bath, the µ mju 790 is designed to hold up to your demanding requirements.

We've got two of these action-adventure snappers to give away. To be in with a chance of winning one, just answer the multiple-choice question in the purple box. The winners will be drawn at random from all the correct entries.


From what height can the Olympus µ mju 790 safely be dropped?


Answer: 1.5m


Good Luck
