 Great for the Outdoors! November 19, 2008
Hadley F. Twiddy (corolla, nc usa)
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

Excellent rugged camera September 30, 2008
Mark D. Mestel (Seattle, WA)
I puchased this camera to take on a kayaking trip. It lived up to its advertisement. Not only does it take good quality photos; it stands up very well to the adverse conditions found on salt water.
Great Camera for the Beach & Vacation September 30, 2008
N. Peterson (Orlando FL)
I bought this camera for my trip to Key West. I planned to do a number of snorkeling trips, and thought it would be cool to have a underwater camera.
I have now owned the camera for about six months, and have had it in the water over 20 times. I have never had a problem with it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to take a digital camera to the Ocean or Beach and not worry about destroying it.
Excellent Pictures. Although, the flash pictures have a tendency to allows produce red eye.

The camera is easy enough to use, and it takes outstanding photographs. It is difficult to see what you are taking a picture of without an eyepiece. I took care of the camera exactly as the instructions, but had to buy 2 new batteries, they would charge, but not register in the camera. I did return the camera and was very quickly fixed. I like olympus products. If you are looking for a cheap, easy underwater camera, I suggest getting the upgrade of this model, the one with the eyepiece, you won't regret the extra money.
