 LOVE it!!! September 8, 2008
I love this camera! I bought it right before a trip to Hawaii and took some (300+ in all) really great pictures! It is easy to use and takes beautiful pictures. I love that it can go under water - the main reason I bought it. It does take better pictures in the pool than in the ocean, but I just ended up taking lots of pictures at the pool! I now have a video of my daughter (who swims like a fish) swimming under water! That alone is worth the price of the camera for me. There is no way I could ever capture that! The still pictures, above and below the surface, are great too! The battery lasted long enough. It did run out but only after taking lots of pictures. I did recharge the battery every night. But that's no big deal. Also, the battery should only be put in one way, but as long as you are careful and look at both the camera and the battery, you shouldn't have a problem putting it in wrong. Just be careful I read someone put it in wrong and had a hard time getting it back out. The only drawbakc to this camera, although not a big one, is that the XD card does not fit in either my 4 year old desktop or my brand new laptop computer. You have to connect via the USB port and download directly from the camera, again, if it takes a long time the battery life can be an issue.
All in all, I still feel it is the most fun camera I have ever owned! If you need a new, compact camera that can take pictures absolutely anywhere and under any conditions, buy this camera!
Awesome for on-the-go and for parents of small children September 7, 2008
I bought this camera so I would have a small one I could easily drag around with me and also for its indestructible qualities because I have 2- and 4 year-old boys. I've been pleasantly surprised by the picture quality and functions, especially the Shadow Adjustment feature, which allows you to shoot during very sunny days. The response time is pretty good. I still prefer my Canon Rebel SLR for quality indoor photos, but this cute little camera is great for treks, and I can let my 4-year-old use it without too much fear. Be sure to buy the newer M+ Olympus card or you will only be able to take 10 second videos. The M+ 2GB card allows for about 18 minutes of 30 fps video and is supposed to be faster than the M type.
 bad night pictures and makes you look reallyyyy pale or really dark September 4, 2008
i really am disappointed with this. i was excited because it was waterproof and drop proof which i took as being "college proof" since i've ruined 2 cameras by either dropping them or getting them wet. however it's almost not worth the crappy pictures it takes. they're all blurry, have this weird glowy haze, HORRIBLE night picture, like absolutely horrible, and it either makes you look really really pale or really really like reddish brown depending on your skin color. i really hate this camera. maybe it's just mine?
Good choice... August 31, 2008
If your getting a camera for a college student (as I did) whose previos camera bit the dust (as our's did) at the beach, try this one. It's sealed against water and sand and dust. The pictures have been excellent. You can read about the rest of the features and specs on the Olympus and Amazon websites. Get a spare battery with a higher mAh.
Great vacation camera August 30, 2008
I bought my daughter this camera before surf camp this summer. She loves it. Underwater pics are great. Overall, very good picture quality.
