 durable, high tech, easy to use July 18, 2008
This was the perfect father's day gift. Take it on the boat deep sea fishing if it gets splashed with salt water or dropped on the deck, no worries. Take it to the pool with grandkids. Freezing conditions hunting, fishing, skiing, sledding. With 8.0 megapixels and 3x internal zoom didn't sacrifice quality of pics and capability either.
Easy to use! My Dad can't remember how to check voice mail on his cell phone but had no problem with the self explanatory icons and point and shoot technology. Later models like the 1030 only add technical advancement more megapixels more zoom etc.
Only one external moving part the shutter cover. Instructions actually say to submerge in fresh water to clean it before opening. Especially after being in sandy, salty other dirty debris environments.
One very durable, yet technically satisfying product!
ITS A GREAT CAMRA!!! July 17, 2008
I was thinking about geting a water proof camra for a long time so I looked it up on amozon to see what i could get. At first the reviews scared me off. However, after reading them, the negutive ones semed flaky. People expecting alot out of a camra that was ment to beet up, I realized that people WERE trying to use it like a $700 canon, and its not, then leaveing reviews that said ' This camra cant take pictures that are top of the line quality, DONT BUY IT'. Hello, its a water proof camra ment for haveing a good time, not takeing a picture worth a thousand words. I mean its not a canon, or a vidio camrs. The frames arnt that fast, the resalution isnt a canon, but it can realy go.
Any way, i got the camra a few days ago and ive already droped it, taken it down to the bottom of my 9 foot pool, taken houndreds of pictures and hours of videos, and no flaws yet. Its a great little camra, and i would definetly buy it agin. (ps: dont buy it if you are a picture person, buy a more expensive one, think $700.)
Olympus Stylus 850SW Waterproof camera July 17, 2008
This camera is real good for the money.
Takes great pictures, first time I used it I was at a lake.
First time I was fishing, and tried to take pictures of the fish, latter in the day went swimming and brought the camera right in the water.
With a 8MP it takes great pictures in and out of the water. I have a fly fishing guide service, and can't wait to use it on clients, and not worry about dropping it or getting wet.
Got it at a good price also.
Great for active lifestyle July 17, 2008
The convenience of being able to jump into the pool or lake with this in your pocket by far outweighs the average photo quality, which by no means is bad - it's just not quite as good as my non-compact Canon or my previous compact. Features are very intuitive. I have been very impressed with the quality of underwater photos and videos - being able to take photos at water level or slightly in the water adds a new perspective. Microphone is not great even out of water, but I think that's a consequence of the waterproofing.
great camera July 15, 2008
I bought this camera mainly for it being waterproof. It really is waterproof too. I've taken it with me im the ocean, lakes, and pools. I havent really taken any underwater pictures, I just use it to take pictures of my friends and myself while we are in the water and it works great! Ive also taken it to concerts and it takes great videos and pictures. The only problem I've had with this camera is that the options on the little wheel selector are rubbing off so I can't see what the different modes are just by looking at it. Overall it is an excellent camera and I'm very happy with my purchase.
