This is an awesome camera. This seller is awesome too. Very quick delivery and personal attention regarding the best payment method for me. Great experience.
I bought this camera to take snorkeling and had it in the ocean 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I used it on and off for the entire 2.5 hour show and had no problem with battery life. I have pictures of a sea turtle that look like they are from a book.
The person who said they got water in the camera from taking it out in the rain must have got a bad one. These look nice even on a 36" TV. In Roatan, I had it submerged for 3 hours straight and had no problems.
I also used the camera to take alot of underwater video. The underwater pictures are really good. They won't be as clear as pictures in the diving books, but they will be highly printable.
They get a bit grainy when blown up that big, but for the price, they look amazing.I also used this camera at a concert and got fantastic shots. I just bought a second battery for it to take on my next snorkeling adventure, only because once you swim with this camera, you won't want to swim without it even for a minute.
A great camera you can carry with you and not worry about dropping it or getting it wet.
I am VERY disappointed with this camera. The company I purchased this from charges a 15% restocking fee for returns, so beware. I realize you are paying for the waterproof feature.BUT, they don't tell you on the advertisement that you need to take it to an Olympus dealer every year to have the seals replaced and the cleaning procedure after a beach trip would make me lean towards just buying a cheap disposable instead.
The contrast between light and dark is very strong. I took excellent pictures with my old Canon Powershot and wish I had purchased a newer Canon instead. I have tried every setting and cannot find one that takes good pictures indoors.
The battery life is also unacceptable. The subject is often overexposed and the background is nearly black. This is unacceptable for the cost of the camera.
Don't waste your money. I am usually very happy with all of my Amazon purchases, but I regret not buying a camera from a local store.
I will take my chances and see. Love this camera sooooo much. I am so happy I did. If I had follow other negative reviews I would have never purchase this camera. I then said to my self, that's other people reviews. Excellent camera. Go OLYMPUS.
