When we asked you to submit your best photographs, with a tempting Olympus [mju:] Stylus 790 SW camera offered up as a prize for the highest voted pic, we were inundated with entries.

Following a packed forum thread with some truly inspirational photos, it came down to just ten, selected by the BM team. These ten were then put before you lot and asked to vote for the one worthy winner. And it was a landslide victory for James Dymond, who submitted the cracking photograph below.

Congratulations James, somebody will be in touch shortly to arrange delivery of your brand new camera.

With many more votes than all the others, James Dymond wins himself a new camera

 

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.
