Very convenient camera. August 9, 2008
The fist time I took it in salt water was nerve wracking, but it worked as advertised. The underwater pictures are tricky to get, and you do need to use the underwater setting or the shots come out blurry. It takes great pictures for a camera that you can treat like a B** stepchild.
Because of the fact that it's so rugged and takes good pictures, I will probably get another one in the future. If you want to take stunning pictures though, you need to purchase a quality DSLR.
Quick note: Buy an extra battery! You can find generic replacement batteries online for about $12 bucks a piece at the time of this writing, and I strongly recommend you get at least one.
Also, you dont need to purchase the expensive XD card, it comes with an adaptor that accepts the common and CHEAP MicroSD card.
 You Can Use More Than 2GB Memory Cards August 8, 2008
I just received the camera, bought together with the 2GB XD memory card because someone said that 2GB was all the camera could support. Wrong. The version 1.1 camera firmware update, already installed on my camera when it arrived (no need to have it downloaded with the Olympus Master 2 software - although there is an update available for that as well), allows support of memory cards greater than 2GB. The camera comes with an adapter to convert microSDHC cards (8 GB for example) to the XD format needed for the camera.
I was impressed with the ease of navigation through the camera settings using only one hand to hold and navigate at the same time.
Many nice features August 6, 2008
I'm very happy with this product overall. I think it has some great features and takes nice pictures. I haven't used it underwater yet but will be in a couple of weeks. My only complaint is the zoom is not that impressive. My previous point and shoot camera's have had a much better zoom. But I'm still happy with the product.
 Do not buy this camera!!!! August 5, 2008

Do not buy this camera!!!! it is the worse camera ever. We were at the lake and the camera stopped working and you can see some water had entered the camera. I sent the camera in to Olympus and they told me that I have to pay $120 to get fix after I paid $400 for it and they actually told me that I have to send the camera every year to get it refurbish. After complaining about the misleading advertisement, the lady actually told me you can go to the web and express your feelings!!!! EVERY YEAR PAY $120 - IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY - AGAIN DO NOT BUY!!!!!
tough cookie August 5, 2008
so far so good i've dropped it, landed on it and forgot to charge the battery. panorama is just like it says 180 view. video underwater in a clear planter not too deep but with sound (i can hear the people in the room). i like it. power saver is made for me cause i forgot the charger on vaction and took video and pictures all week mountain biking and hanggliding. good wide angle pictures too. i wish they made it in yellow. snow boarding and diving next.
