As the are two different camera's. The mju series good but is only splash proof but still easy to use. But if your friends by their statement were impling that you have a tendency to drop things and go for a swim and forget that you left your camera in your pocket, then the olympus 850SW is one of the only ones (if not the only one) on the market that has this sort of damage covered. If they meant that your not really good with tech gadgets, if my 5 y.o. can use hers then I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. I have only seen the 790SW & 795SW here which is basically the same the 850SW is just an updated version. The 790SW Retails around QR-/1,200 - QR-/2,300 depending on were you go and how much you want to be ripped off. DON'T go to virgin as I have found most products there retail for QR-/200 more than Carrefour even their Sony products.
