Great camera for its intended purpose

This camera takes great pictures in most conditions (low light is not one of them). If you're just looking for a pocket camera for general use, there are better options. But if you're looking for a waterproof camera for water sports (kayak, canoe, snorkeling, etc.), this camera can take some pretty impressive shots. Its story mode offers a wide range of options including 3 underwater options. On a recent Caribbean cruise, I dropped it to 10 feet a few times and spent hours in the water. Noโ€ฆ

Don't take this camera with you!

I have used Canon's small cameras (ELPHS and SureShots) extensively for at least 15 years for thousands of holiday and family photos in a variety of settings. Since cameras and mobile phones keep falling on me, I decided on the "unbreakable" Olympus 850SW. Well, I might as well not leave him; I can THROW it in anything after two months of use. (1) No battery life. I almost never had to charge any of my guns; would run, for example, two days of continuous shooting on vacation. The battery ofโ€ฆ

Almost perfect for digital cameras

I bought this camera as a "field camera" for hiking, trail running, skiing, etc. when I don't feel like carrying our regular photography gear. He also accompanies me on deployments and field exercises in the army. As well as dropping it, I checked its movements and it continues to take quality photos. The stabilization function works well in daylight, but some shaking is noticeable on long exposures. Shots are sharp, telephoto shots are more than adequate and basic macro shots are possible with

Keep licking and ticking!

This camera does not take the best pictures in its class. It's not particularly small or light. But today I shot a 30 fps VGA video of my son and I sliding down a water park slide together! All the way down! Last week I took a picture of me and a friend fishing in the bay. I let my 5 year old son eat whenever he wants. He dropped it on the sand on the beach; He dropped it on the tiled floor in the kitchen. No problem! You can take this camera where you never would have taken a good cameraโ€ฆ
