Review on Olympus Stylus 850SW 8MP Digital Camera With 3X Optical Zoom (Yellow) by Alex Solano

Broken after 3 dives. My husband and I took this camera to the Caribbean to rest and relax during the deployment from Iraq and while scuba diving during the trip the camera blistered and died. We replaced it with the Revain and ordered another one thinking it must have been a coincidence as it was advertised as a waterproof camera. Replacing the camera took several months as we didn't ride it much in the water. The third time he was back in the water, big surprise, he broke! The bubbles came out and the chamber was dead. Of course we will NEVER buy an Olympus camera again. The photos weren't very good anyway, and even with red-eye reduction, people's eyes were always red. It looks pretty and is waterproof enough to ski as it might have gotten a little splashy, but if you're looking for a truly waterproof digital camera that can handle snorkeling or the beach, look elsewhere. Unless you want to take it in the water twice, in which case you might be fine. I am very disappointed in this camera and the complete lack of interest on the part of the seller (Beach Camera) and Olympus. I will no longer do business with any of the companies. If it can't stand the water, then it shouldn't be sold as a waterproof camera, period. The same model of camera broke twice on holiday leaving me without a camera for the rest of the trip - I won't let that happen a third time.
