 awesome July 19, 2010
Jeffrey Schirmer
This camera is great, I wanted a camera for the boat and the beach where I dont have to worry about getting it wet or dropping it, and it does exactly what I wanted. I read about bad delay when taking a picture, but I havent noticed it
 Waterproof Not this one July 1, 2010
wltgl
First time we took this camera in the water it quite working. Have a pentax optio wp for five years that has been in the ocean several times works like a charm wasted money on the olympus buy PENTAX OPTIO if you want it to do what it supposed to.
It's not underwater at all!!! June 30, 2010

I bought this camera for a trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and I took some Ok photos but then I took 2 photos underwater in a pool (2 feet)and the camera stopped working, I opened the battery door and it was all full of water... I'll never buy Olympus again!!!
 Olympus 10mp underwater camera June 13, 2010
mom of 5 girls (Chicago, IL USA)
The picture quality is not good at all. My 13 year old doesn't even use it because of this. I purchased the previous Olympus 8mp model (orange) for another daughter, and it takes much better pictures. I prefer the pictures from my older model Pentax underwater camera.
 Survived very rough conditions in Costa Rica... June 3, 2010
Kale is Amazing (Santa Barbara, CA)
I took this camera on a field biology expedition to Costa Rica. I admit I didn't really use it for underwater photography, because visibility is crummy in the Pacific side of CR. However, I was looking for something that would be ok through rain, sweat, mud, and other harsh conditions.
This camera did not disappoint on that front. It got dropped in the ocean while unpacking the boats. It got rained on often. It lived in the hip belt of my backpacking pack where it would get water and sweat on it sometimes. I even had it in my pants pocket while fording a river up to my hips. It's a champ.
I was not expecting the picture quality to match my Canon SLR, so I can't say I was too surprised when I saw that macro shots of many awesome Costa Rican critters were blurry. That said, next expedition, I'm taking this camera and my SLR. Different cameras, different purposes.
