I purchased this camera because my first Sony camera had water spill on it. My second sony camera, I dropped and the lens popped out. I thought i'd kill two birds with one stone and get a shockproof/waterproof camera. I also got it because I went to Hawaii and wanted a waterproof one. The underwater pictures were ok, nothing special and definitely not perfectly clear. I also think the quality of the picture is complete junk. It's ok to take pictures of my daughter, but if you are taking night scenes, or concert scenes, it's horrible. It's blurry and fuzzy no matter what setting you put it on. I am very very disappointed with this camera but am not able to return it so i'm pretty much out the money and stuck with a crappy camera.

After 3 weeks or so of using this camera, I got an error message stating "Card Cover Open" after opening and closing the card cover several times , the error kept showing up and the whole camera was locked up. I went on line and found out that this is a common error in this camera. I tried some of the solutions posted on line but non will work. (By the way , this error prevents you from operating the camera). Once I gave up , I went to Olympus web site which is useless , I also emailed inquiring about the error and got no reply. the only info I could find regarding this was that the basic repair cost would be of over $140.
To sum up:
1-Camera looks good but will stop working just because it thinks the card cover is open
2-Olympus lacks decent customer care ( they were not even kind enough to send an auto confirmation receipt of the e mail sent to them)
3- Basic repair cost , costs almost as much a decent pentax underwater cam.
If you are willing to give this camera a shot just because the the amazing features and looks , make sure you are willing to strugle with Olympus web site and customer care.
By the way.... I was about to buy the Olympus DSLR E620 amazing picture quality and features that beat all competitors at that price range , fortunatly my stylus tough 6000 died before I made the purchase which warned me about the huge mistake purchasing Olympus products is. Obviously I cancelled the order and will now gto either with canon or pentax for both under water and DSLR cameras.

This is the First Digital Camera I've owned and recieved it as a Christmas Gift. This is diffenently a very good camera to start with as far as learning is concerned. Learning since this is my first digital camera, while reading the instructions and getting to know photography a little more.
The features on the Camera are suffecient and the menu is easy to operate. It is also compatable with a 8 gb Micro SDHC in using the adapter. Though I've only just begun to test the camera, I have many plans on using it on my trip to Alaska in the Summer. With 8 gb, I'll be taking more pictures of Alaska then ever and soon my online Albums will be filled with higer quality pictures.
A starters Camera to learn from, for me, yes. Even for educated users its a great camera.
This Camera has many features including Panoramic pictures.
But the only thing I see is missing, is the Black & White feature.
So if you can afford it, I would recommend it.

I am very active in the warmer months, and was looking for a camera that I can take anywhere and not worry about dropping it, or it getting rained on, or getting wet by a pool, or even bouncing around on an ATV. I bought this camera after doing a lot of research, and knowing what the reviews were.
The picture quality with this camera is beautiful. Some are saying that the photos are grainy, and yes, they are when you use it on out of the box settings. It happened to me and I was very discouraged, but I played around with it, and now the quality is amazing! I set my image quality compression on 'fine', and that solved the problem.
The camera comes with specific instructions on underwater usage. I have not tried it yet, but the instructions are very simple and easy to remember. The key is to keep the lens clean at all times, and to thoroughly clean the camera and lens after outings. This can be done by running the lens, open, under a stream of water, and submerging the entire camera for about 10 minutes. If you clean the lens without water, only use a lint free cloth, or lens pen.
Since this camera is freeze proof (to 14F), I took it out on a lake with me today and took a lot of pictures. I gave the camera a good workout, and it did a great job. It didn't freeze up or stall at all. The temperature outside was around 25F. I also took a picture of a fish that was swimming by a FishTV underwater camera, and the Olympus captured the fish perfectly.
The package included with the camera has the Olympus Master 2, which is the editing program for your pictures. This program has a ton of different things you can do to your photos. I had a Kodak before this, and it's editing program was no where near as large as the Master 2.
Yes, this camera does have slow shutter speed. That bothered me at first, but after seeing what this camera can really do, I'll take the slow shutter speed. It does take about 4 seconds after pressing the button to take the photo.
All in all, I definitely recommend this camera. If you take the time to play around with it and learn the features, I think you'll be very happy.

Its size and weight are OK, but its ease of use hmmm... I'm not fully convinced about it. Lately a lot of these "point and shoot" digital cameras limit the way you can play around with options like "shutter speed, exposure, etc". Simply, with this camera you can't set these settings; either you stick with the iAuto option or try to get "the best from it" using the SCN option... but none of them really work. Apparently Olympus thought the camera might know better what kind of picture you want to take better than you do.
People might say "get yourself a SLR"... but no, it's not necessary to buy one of those cameras. Four yeas ago I bought a Canon PowerShot and it was the best digital camera I've ever used. Why didn't I got a similar one this time? Well, I have to admit my wife wanted a waterproof camera... and she got in love with this one. She loves the camera, I don't...
If you want a basic and "intelligent" point and shoot camera... get this one, it's also shockproof... but if you want freedome while operating your camera, look somewhere else... give it a try with the Canon PowerShot.
