So far So good August 19, 2008

I have been very satisfied with my stylus 850sw. It has been on the construction jobsite with me as well as the jungles of Central America in the back of a truck. Both in the rain and mud and has performed flawlessly. If you can put up with the odd xD memory card, it is great.
 great beach camera, especially for the price. August 18, 2008
I got this camera to take on a trip to the Yucatan. We did some snorkeling, but a lot of sightseeing as well. The camera did GREAT! I have videos of sea turtles, as well as some great shots of Mayan pyramids, monkeys, sunsets. Last time I was on a trip to the beach, my husband and I couldn't both swim at the same time, or we were risking losing our camera. Or, we just couldn't bring it. Well, not any more. We brought this to the beach, swam with it, threw it in the sand, washed it off, and it is still ticking. It has some great features (an alarm clock with snooze that works when the camera is off was really helpful on vacation- one less thing to pack). I was sometimes annoyed with the scene function as it is a bit tricky to switch between settings. Also, the screen is not visible underwater (could be the light we were in). I still got a lot of good shots, but also lost many because i didn't have it focused right. Overall, a great, rugged camera, though it isn't perfect. I bought the xd m+ cards, and the panorama function DOES NOT WORK to stitch the pictures together in the camera. Once i put the pics on my computer, the program did it fine, but I spent a lot of time trying to get it to work on the camera, and it just doesn't.
So, if you are not a professional photographer but want a good all around camera to have pictures you can show off- this is a good one. I met a diver from South Africa and he was very taken with this camera (and more so with the price). Having home movies of sea turtles and manta rays is too cool- and a fun way to impress friends :)
Olympus 850SW August 18, 2008

Good size to carry in your pocket and produce a nice snapshot. The color is really good for this size camera. The size make it a liitle hard to hold for men with large hands. This is my ABC camera (alway bring camera)
I can take this small camera in places that I wouldn't be able to take the Canon 40d or the E-1 olympus that I use for photo shoot. The 850sw is easy to use and has good menu system. Mine is yellow and it is easy to find when I lay it down. The battery life good but if you want to shoot more than 300 picture you will need to have 2 battery. The charger that comes with it is very slow....aperturefocus.smugmug.com
Olympus Stylus August 17, 2008
I needed a digital camera that is compact, easy to use and able to withstand outdoor use. My son, who is a photographer, suggested the Olympus Stylus 850SW. It is waterproof to 10 feet (great for my snorkeling and canoe trips), easy to use, takes great pictures and is colorful and fun. A good value for the money.
WE LOVE IT!! August 16, 2008
Both my husband and I purchased this camera (he in black, me in pink) and we've had them for about four months. We just returned from a rafting trip in Montana - and all I can say is - AMAZING!! Our cameras spent hours in and out of the water, his even got bounced on some rocks - and the photos they took are absolutely superb! We also purchased the silicone covers and float straps just for added protection. I laugh at anyone who reviews this camera for the video - I haven't even tried it out to be honest - if you want a video camera, by a video camera! This little snappy is FANTASTIC for adventures in the water & outdoors - anywhere you need something that can take a splash and tumble and still take fantastic photos!
