 Beware! Works at first, but not after awhile! December 13, 2008
At first, this camera was amazing. I took it to the beach, took it skiing, kyaking, etc. But after a year, I took on vacation and it simply stopped working at the beach.
A friend of mine who bought this camera also had it stop working on him after about a year. I think that the gaskets which give it its waterproof and weather proof qualities wear out after awhile. Checking online, I've seen many forums where people have posted that their camera stopped working after awhile. I imagine Olympus knew this, as their warranty is for only a year! Rediculous. Don't buy unless you only want a camera for a year or so.
Don't buy it!!!
Tough Little Camera December 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this camera after a few rain drops ruined my old FugiFilm.
PRO:
-Water/shock/drunk proof (primarily why I bought the camera).
-Decent Macro feature.
-Good battery life.
-Multiple picture settings.
-Pocket size.
CONS:
-Really S L O W shutter speed.
-No eye piece, just LCD screen, which is very difficult to see in bright light.
-All pictures turn out a little dark (if I did not know or use Photoshop, it would be a big problem).
-Image stabilization does not really work, especially on the Macro setting.
-Cannot get the panoramic feature to work.
 Pixel Problems November 29, 2008
It's a very durable camera with overall good quality - excellent for children/infants who grab the camera when you aren't looking. A little too sophisticated sometimes for simple point and shoot because the default setting upon turning it on makes pictures blurry. Additionally, smack dab in the middle of the screen/lens/memory area is a pixel "dark" spot that doesn't consistently go away no matter what you try. It is a ghost spot that is electronically driven (not dirt driven).

I'm not a professional photographer and I don't have 5 other cameras in my quiver so as far as all of the technical aspects go, I can't give the best review. However, as far as the shock, sand, and waterproof aspects are concerned, I can honestly say that I've put this camera to the test and it has passed with flying colors! I have a small kayak touring company and this camera goes everywhere with me. It has been dropped, exposed to extreme heat and cold, and covered with sand at the beach and still works like a champ. What really won me over though was a 5 minute stint in 3 feet of salty water, lying on a silty muddy bottom while kayaks were unloaded. As soon as I got everyone out of their boats I fished around for the camera. I brought it up, soaked and muddy, and it immediately turned on and was ready to take pictures! For people who are outdoors a lot, you can't find a better camera!
great canera October 6, 2008
this camera is an excellent camera to take with you when your going in the water (salt or pool) pictures are good enough quality for me even blown up they still look good. i have not played with the video on this yet and am not really intending to but from its 15fps rate the quality will probably be on the choppy side if you really care about the video.
underwater pictures come out good in the pool. i tried getting some in the ocean but our water is too murky and not enough light.
I use this camera in the ocean mostly to get bodyboarding and surfing shots. ive used it about 5 or 6 times in the water, in the month that ive had it. as long as you follow the directions for keeping the water proofing it will hold up. also some water may get in near the connection ports. just dry that off (there is water proofing around the ports) and it will last
PROS: underwater capability up to 33ft( as claimed by olympus)(ive had it 10ft, sequence shots are pretty good for a digital camera. good quality images blown up to screen size
CONS: zoom is limited (3 times optical 5 times digital) (digital zoom not worth using just turn it off)video is shot @ 15fps
i had my choices narrowed down between this camera and pentax optio w30
[...]
i choose the olympus and am not regretting it
