Tough Camera October 1, 2008
I decided to purchase this particular camera for the shock + waterproof feature. I do a lot of backpacking/traveling. I wanted something that was small and durable, yet still had good photo quality. I love the waterproof feature for around the beach or on the boat. Shockproof is good and I have tested it a couple of times accidentally. I am still learning to use all the features. My first trip using this camera was a couple week backpacking tour around the UK. Photos were good for the most part. The waterproof feature certainly came in handy as it poured rain most days. The menus are easy to navigate. My only real complaint is the positioning of the lens. You will find you get many shots with fingers in the corner. Overall I am pleased, It is exactly the rugged, small camera I was looking for. Price was excellent compared to other websites, and the shipping was fast.

Olympus sent me this camera via www.reallyreviews.com and its awesome. I got to try it for free and shortly after i purchased my ownn. Great zoom, pic quality, lightweight.

My son came home from a school trip with my Canon Ixy 10 (bought in Japan, called Ixus 70 in Europe) dead after dropping it or carrying it in his pocket or whatever. So, I decided on getting a camera that could take rough handling. I had a Pentax Optio WP a few years ago, so I knew that underwater photography is a lot of fun.
This camera is a sturdy piece. It feels MUCH heavier than other cameras of its size, which I can live with, given that you can drop it and all. Its programs are user friendly, the software that comes with it is OK and it takes decent pictures outside, but... Don't even bother inside or in poor light conditions.
Sorry Olympus, but you don't come close to my old (lighter, cheaper but much frailer) Canon in any respect. The screen is not as clear and distinct as the Canon screen either. If all you need is a waterproof camera, go for Pentax.
 great until it broke October 4, 2008

Well i brought my camera for taking pictures of me surfing. i read the booklet and made surf it would be okay in the conditions. The first day i shoot night shoot of some friends for 45 minutes. the following day i was shooting some friend in small surf when the camera failed and was broken. im very disappointed. 300$ for a camera that breaks in the first 2 days.
The best choice for underwater. October 8, 2008
I bought this camera for one thing and one thing only; it's ability to take photos underwater up to 33 feet without any other housing or attachments. I'm very satisfied with that aspect.
Check out the user photos for some pics I took from Grand Cayman. 90 percent of all my underwater shots (even when I couldn't see the screen because of glare or brightness of the sun) were very nice.
The scene selection menu is very helpful when you need a quick way to get just the right settings for a photo.
Out of the water, the pictures are fine if you aren't trying to zoom very far. I'll keep shooting all my out of water photos with my Sony DSC-H5. The Stylus just can't hold a candle to 12x optical zoom and a Carl Zeiss lense.
