5 comments about Olympus Stylus 1010 10.1MP Digital Camera with 7x Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue).

1. Camera is great, would order again. Takes great pictures and has a ton of features.



2. I purchased this one month ago to replace my canon sd200 of 3.2mps/ 3x zoom. I wanted the 7x zoom in a small point & shoot. When comparing, I prefered the color saturation (white balance) better in my Canon! I still like my little canon and think it takes some better shots! I took a lot of side by side shots and was even considering returning this new one! However this Olympus can do amazing things...the technology has come a long way. I do love the panoromic stitch mode, in camera editing, etc...however, I was VERY disapointed when I used the continuous shooting mode with the zoom. My pics were automatically shot in a lower resolution and they came out quite pixelated. (it was an important event)
   Overall, now that I have had time to really play with the camera and work with the modes, I actually find it is a decent and fun camera for most people to enjoy. It does most of the thinking FOR you if you want it too! It is a lot of camera for a small price. I still don't always like the color tones vs my canon...but that's just my personal take.



3. I bought the Stylus 1020 (same as the 1010 but with a better display screen) but quickly regretted it. This camera has a 10 megapixel image, but even when shots are saved at the "FINE" setting, the image quality is noticeably poorer than a 4-year-old Canon Powershot 6-megapixel camera. Comparing images from this and the Canon side by side, it's obvious that the Canon images are crisp and clear, while it looks like the Olympus images are shot through gauze or fog.
   
   Yes, I did check to make sure the lens was unobstructed.... No luck there; it was clean as a whistle. I'm turning right around and taking this camera back. Please don't disappoint yourself. Get a Canon (or anything else that has better picture quality).



4. For a long time I looked forward to owning a Stylus 1010. I'm sorry to say that I'm sadly disappointed. There are so many good reviews that I thought it was a sure thing. I wanted it mainly because it's small enough to fit in a purse and it's the only pocket camera I could find with a decent zoom (7x optical, equivalent to 37-260mm). Unfortunately, every time I have the lens completely extended I get a blurry picture.
   
   I also get many grainy photos. In all but the most ideal light situations the pictures are grainy or blurry. Sometimes in full sunlight they are overexposed. This is mainly with it on automatic settings. I have played around with some of the multitude of other settings but have not been any more impressed. Sometimes supermacro will give you a cool shot that is clear but just as often it will give you a blurry shot. If your subject is moving at all with the macro settings then don't even waste time trying. That is pretty much true with every other setting except sports. And, I don't mean moving fast, I mean moving even slightly.
   
   This was supposed to be an easy point and shoot camera that my fiance could also use but it's obvious that he will not be able to count on getting a good shot with it. Sometimes I think that my expectations were too high because I normally use a (semi) professional camera (Nikon D70S) but I do think a pocket camera should take at least 70% of the "normal" or "easy" pictures clearly. I've owned a pocket size Canon camera before and got much better results. The Olympus Stylus 1010 is a sad disappointment.



5. So I bought this camera about a month ago, because I was looking for a replacement for my Stylus 310 (It seems so long ago...). I had read all the reviews, both positive and negative, and was - to be honest - a bit hesitant to invest. However, I've come to trust Olympus, and I know that often, a poor review can stem from limited knowledge of how to make the most out of a product.
   
   Needless to say, I gave in, shelled out the $250, signed up for Amazon Prime (yes, the trial saved me about $11 in expedited shipping charges), and next thing I know: shiny new (silver) toy!
   
   The camera is great. I've taken some really amazing super-macro photos (I call them my "study" on texture), the battery lasts seemingly forever, the optical zoom is impeccable, and I had no problem taking lengthy videos with a non-Olympus card, and the Shoot and Select modes have proven to be a veritable party starter.
   
   I think this camera has reinstilled my passion for on-the-spot photo taking and seeing the world through a very large, bright, and clear lcd viewfinder. I say go for it!

5 comments about Kodak EasyShare V1003 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Slate Gray).

1. This camera was delivered as promised. It is my second as I dropped the otherone with the lens open and I am trying to get it repaired. I use it so often I ordered another one. The price is right for the item and I use it often. The photos are very clear and it is an easy to use camera. I love it. It is a bit larger than some digitals but not a problem for me.Kodak EasyShare V1003 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Slate Gray)



2. Buenas noches yo quisiera saber donde esta mi camara fotografica ya que la compre el 8 de agosto y el 18 del mismo mes fue entregada en una residencia y desde entonces no se nada de la camara fotografica



3. I received this camera as a gift and had to send it in three times to be fixed. (Yes, I am EXTREMELY careful with my cameras) First, the lens would not go back inside. Second, because it would not charge. Third, for the lens again. I used it once after it got sent back and it broke again. A waste of time.



4. I purchased this camera for my son, for his girlfriend for christmas. I have already purchased this same exact camera in the past and the receiver of it loves it. It takes great pictures.



5. The Camera came quickly and very well wrapped in it's original seal. Just FYI- if you get it threw UPS, the box was thrown to my door from my gate 3 feet away! Other than that, the camera is Fabulous!

5 comments about Sony Cybershot DSCW130/B 8.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Black).

1. Esta es una de las mejores camaras que he tenido a mi alcnce,gran resolucion y un facil manejo, el unico proble esta con respecto al zoom pien que con uno de 5x seria mejor.

2. I love the point an shoot cameras made by Sony mainly because of the Professional Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, that makes a huge difference when you compare this camera to a similar price camera from another manufacturer, in my opinion the picture quality of this camera is far superior then HP, Canon, Olympus, or Nikon.
   
   Sony include the new ultra fast BIONZ processor in all their new cameras, this is a big deal when you take high resolution pictures and want your camera to be ready to shoot the next in no time at all.
   
   There's a lot of things I love about this camera like: the animated graphical menus, cool metal exterior finish, big display, slide show with or without music, extended battery life, high sensitivity of ISO 3200, Super SteadyShot, and Convenient Photo Modes among others.
   
   The Smile Shutter Mode does work but its a bit tricky when you try to use it on several subjects since you have to detect everyone faces for the Smile Shutter to work properly and this is not as easy as it sounds.
   
   Overall I recommend this camera to everyone who likes a small size point an shoot, easy to use, that can take great quality pictures without spending too much money.
   
   PD: I will add some customer images if you want to check out the picture quality



3. very happy with camera.my son took it with him to peru and took hundreds of shots.



4. The cybershop is a compact effecient camera. I have not learned about all of its features, but so far, it is very easy to use. I am very please with this purchase.



5. The smile detection feature is what sealed the deal. Its a great camera. The only warning is it holds 4 pictures without a memory card. I DID find an 8G memory stick duo for like $22 online so that should make it hold about 2k pics.
   I didn't find the ISO pics to be too blurry... but I'm not a professional photog, just a mom :)
   Anyhow, great camera, great pics. I recommend it based on the value.

5 comments about Casio Exilim EX-S880 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Anti-Shake Optical Zoom (Red).

1. I bought my camera in July 2007 and LOVED it...awesome photos, simple to use, fast shutter speed, etc. I am a trained photographer but wanted a small camera to take with me on trips and to parties, etc., and the size and price was fantastic...SOLD! For once, I did not get an extended warranty, and that was my biggest mistake.
   
   In October 2007, I took the camera to a friend's wedding and it suddenly turned itself off, with the lens still partially out, halfway through the reception. I figured I must have not charged the battery enough, and placed it back in its case to take home, disappointed I only got about a dozen photos from the wedding.
   
   Upon charging the battery, I realized the camera had died, so I dug out the box and called Casio. I then went through a relay to get the camera shipped out for service...three feet of bubble wrap and Express Mail, for starters. Three weeks later, I got a letter in the mail demanding over $100 for repairs, or a "ransom" of a small amount of money to get it back, unusable. If I did not respond promptly, I would never see my little camera again. So I called and talked with someone, who said they hadn't actually looked at it yet (how did they know how much to charge then??) Another person got on the phone (a "tech") and informed me I must have dropped the camera because there was severe damage to the outer lens. Uhm, no. After "negotiating" for two weeks, I was able to reduce the "fix fee" to about $80 with shipping and "service." I figured this was better than out and out buying a new camera (they have since gone down in price, ironically enough). I got the camera back over a month later and have used it sparingly, since my job requires a "fancier" model. Two days ago I tried to turn it on to view photos...and...nothing. It's dead, again. It is NEVER removed from its case unless it's in use, I store it in a fireproof/dirtproof container, and I have maybe taken 10 photos on it since I received it back in December...it's NEVER EVER been dropped, scratched, bumped. I also am the only one who's ever taken photos with it.
   
   Clearly, this is a lemon, and there is no way I'm going to get Casio to repair it again...and even if they agreed, I have already essentially bought this camera one and a half times over. The sad part is, I really love this camera and did not intend to buy another point and click for some time. I do not think every version of this camera is a lemon (and let's face it...they happen), but I will definitely think twice before contacting Casio customer "service" again.
   
   Two lessons learned:
   
   1. Buy the extended warranty.
   2. If you must send it in for repair, borrow a camera and take closeups of it before shipping it off; otherwise you will be blatantly accused of negligence, no matter how much you baby your property, like I do.



2. I've taken jillions of great pictures with my little Exilim....It's good for everything from macro to landscapes. And being able to take lots of nice little movies with good sound is a huge plus. And mine is one of the first models out without modern refinements like anti-shake.
   
   I've gotten it wet, I've turned it off and on jillions of times... it just keeps on taking good pictures.



3. somewhat easy to use. Nice big LCD screen. Nothing like the reviews. Great camera for the price. The only problem is some of the buttons are small and hard to manuver. If you have small fingers then its okay. Also, the toggle does not always move upward when pressed in that direction. That may be a problem only with my camera. All and all, a good camera.



4. I bought two units and bouth came with a defective battery, that forced to call the service department to replace. i was informed that they were aware of this kind of defect. Why casio sell a unit that know that has a defective battery. Camera is working now after my call to replace the batteries.



5. I am very unhappy, I bought the camera to take to a district athletic event, but the battery wouldn't charge, so needless to say, I couldn't take it. I had seen such good reviews of this camera, but am very disappointed.

5 comments about Fujifilm Finepix S700 7.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom.

1. CR loves this camera. We love this camera. We wish the lens cover opened automatically but it's easy enough to use as is.



2. I got the camera very fast, in perfect condition, and it was everything that I thought it would be. What more can you ask for?



3. Excellent camera, very easy to use and full of features. Excellent quality image and crisp colors. You cannot go wrong buying it.



4. The Fuji S700 is an easy-to-use camera, affordable and the pictures are fantastic!
   
   I looked at the Fuji S1000, it is a 10mp where the S700 is a 7mp and there is no comparison. The S1000 has a lag with the shutter speed and it does not have an extended viewfinder.
   
   Having a choice of a viewfinder or a screen was important to me and since I would rather use the viewfinder, the batteries last longer.
   
   For years I have used a 35mm film camera and had no problem switching to this great digital camera.



5. 
   I have had this camera for a month now. When I first opened it I didn't really like it. My first thought was that the screen was pixelly and so that made me think my photos wouldnt be that good. But my photos turn out great. A few other things I noticed was the view finder is just a small screen inside the camera that duesn't help very much. But two days in of having it I start really liking it. The photos are great and the settings are all good. I did buy this camera because I didn't want to spend much money but wanted a really good camera so this is what I found. And it works fine for me. It was also pretty easy for me to learn how to use it. So I would say its a pretty good camera.

4 comments about Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only).

1. I bought the D80 a couple months ago and was having major noise issues. My Nikon D50 (a lesser model) took better quality photos. After exchanging the D80 several times and even sending it in for service, the issue still remained. I was so fortunate that the D90 was released this week....I have already exchanged the D80 for the D90. After using it for just one day, I am amazed at the quality. I took photos at ISO 3200, and they are nearly the same quality as the D50 at ISO 400. Nikon has finally solved their noise issues!!



2. I am far from a professional photographer, but I take it as seriously as possible while still referring to it as a hobby. I take mostly pictures of people at events and many of my baby son without flash in low light situations.
   
   I had been using a Nikon D40x for 1 year and very early reached my limitation with that camera. The Nikon D40x has very nice image quality, but the camera's interface is not suited for a more serious shooter who wants quick single button or dial access to such shooting parameters such as white balance, shooting mode, metering mode, etc. I also felt very limited by the D40x not having an in-body focus motor that would allow me to use non AF-I/AF-S lenses (which are lenses without the focus motor built-in).
   
   The Nikon D40x limitations were severe enough that I was about to consider purchasing a Canon 40D until the Nikon D90 appeared just in time.
   
   
   PROS:
   
   1. Fantastic set of separate buttons on the camera to control parameters like ISO, white balance, metering, autofocus, image quality, shooting mode, etc.
   2. Two command dials
   3. High resolution 920K pixel LCD screen (like the one on the Nikon D300)
   4. 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, like the D300 but it has actually has improved high ISO performance as per independent testing from Ken Rockwell
   5. Better high ISO capability (for low light shooting) than even the D300 (because of Nikon's tweaking the same sensor) I can shoot ISO 1600 with good image quality with this camera, while on my D40x I could only shoot with ISO 400 and obtain acceptable IQ
   6. Separate top-viewing LCD screen in addition to the rear high res screen, to show shooting parameters constantly
   7. In-body focus motor which allows the use of Nikon's non AF-I/S lenses, including wonderful and CHEAP prime lenses such as the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 (~$100 lens!)
   8. Continuous shooting of 4.5 frames per second
   9. Small size, although larger than the D40/D40x/D60, it is still substantially smaller in the hand than the D300/D3
   10. 720p 24fps MPEG video shooting capability with incredible ability to use depth of field that I cannot achieve with my Sony High-Def camcorder.
   11. Eleven auto-focus points (not as nice as the 51 points on the D300, but substantially better than my D40x with its 3 points)
   12. GPS option
   13. HDMI output
   14. Enormous number of options to customize camera and shooting settings to fit your style of shooting
   15. Fantastic image quality right out-of-box if you don't want to do any post processing
   
   
   CONS:
   
   1. "Rolling shutter" phenomenon while recording video: The D90 CMOS sensor has the same problem that other CMOS video recorders have when recording video. If you move the camera, especially horizontally, you get a "jelly" or "rubberbanding" effect where the image wobbles significantly. It is nice to have the video features, which looks very sharp at 720p, but it is NOT a substitute for a video camera. If you use a tripod, and do not do quick zooms/pans, the video quality is excellent. Without a tripod, however, you may get nauseas watching a wobbly video. The sound is also in monoaural.
   2. 1/200 flash synch: Not a problem for me, but it might be for you.
   3. No weather sealing: This is found on the Nikon D300/D3 and even on similarly priced models from other camera companies
   
   
   TIPS:
   
   1. Get the FREE Nikon ViewNX software from Nikon's site as your 1st step in your workflow. This will let you examine your RAW images that you can process for either Nikon CaptureNX2 to do further RAW processing or just export to JPG for a JPG editor such as PhotoShop.
   2. Heavily recommend buying the Nikon CaptureNX2. It is a RAW converter (if you shoot in RAW) that will read the camera settings properly for export to JPG.
   
   
   
   The Nikon D90 has all of the interface features that serious and even professional photographers need with wonderful image quality.



3. Nikon's MSRP on the D90 body only is $999. This camera is not intended to sell for almost $1200 w/o lens, and anyone who pays this much is being taken.



4. I received the D40 last year, and while I enjoyed it immensely I was ready to upgrade for more creative control. I ordered the D90 as soon as it was available, and I cannot say enough good things about it! The pictures are incredibly sharp, clear, and Nikon colorful. I have gone as high as ISO 2000 with no recognizable noise (unless zoomed in). Even at ISO 3200, it was comparable to my D40 at ISO >800. I loved my D40 and still think it is a great camera for someone who is just starting out, or for use as a 2nd lightweight camera, or who wants something a little nicer than a point and shoot but still really simple. However, once you are ready for more, this is the camera to buy. I have already used the video recorder several times, and while it isn't going to replace your video camera altogether it is wonderful to have. It is great for the quick video shots, such as at little league baseball -- I don't want to film an entire ball game, but it's nice to have video of my son when he is batting. (The sound of the crack of the bat just can't be captured on a still!) So I have been getting great stills at games as well as fun batting videos and end of game celebrations. Also, I have used it at school programs, at the moment when my son is reeling in a fish, at special moments at the zoo and park, etc. Some people may think it's just a gimmick for a serious shooter, and I probably won't use it when I am out seriously shooting. But it's great to have for the user who also has a family and wants to use it to capture memories in their everyday lives. And that's why I think it's brilliant. I can't think of any other purchase that I have made in recent years that has as much versatility and opportunity for use as this camera. Plus, as previously mentioned, I am absolutely thrilled with the photographs that it is producing, and that's what really matters at the end of the day. If you're thinking about getting it, just do it! You won't be disappointed!

5 comments about Olympus W-10 Digital Voice Recorder with Built-in Digital Camera.

1. Works like a charm. Haven't tried the camera, but really didn't buy it for that function. This baby is ultra sensitive and picks up everything- including background noise I'd rather it didn't! Don't use it in a room where there is traffic outside or you will be able to count every vehicle that went by. You'll still be able to hear speaking in a room clearly though so all in all- great recorder at a great price!



2. What a gizmo! It records, it takes pictures, it does other things! It is, in all gizmostity, quite the gadget.
   
   All seriousness aside, a slender voice recorder is a handy tool to have, especially if you find yourself needing to collect information in a hurry. I use mine for accident and crime scene investigation. I can collect details in a hurry which frees me up for more intuitive, first impression stuff. Useful to me is the sync between pictures and sound. I can take a picture and then comment on the details. (And of course, so can you.)
   
   I still carry my camera. The picture detail in the Olympus is pretty good but if detail is important, I go for the Canon.
   
   That it cost less the $40 with tax and shipping makes it a bargain.



3. I wasn't hoping for much from the camera, and it's a good thing. Not only is the picture quality lousy, the alignment between viewfinder and lens is iffy enough that you need to leave some room around the image to make sure you get everything you want. That having been said, it's fine as a voice recorder--as my two other Olympus recorders have been--and at a good price. And having a lousy camera is arguably better than none at all. I'm a little concerned about the analog volume control wheel, since I'm sure that's what broke on my first Olympus recorder, but I like the controls better than my old VN3100 that I just gave to my son.



4. I bought this recorder to create some podcasts of my classes (high school). The idea is to have the students record certain group projects and then use the audio to create "quick and dirty" podcasts - nothing fancy. The sound quality is pretty low, even on "HQ", but, for the price, I really can't complain. It sounds like a very old-school tape recorder in a lot of ways. I'm not even going to talk about the camera as a functioning part of the piece because it's a piece of crap (your cell phone will do much better). But the recorder is easy to use, with working through the menu being easy enough for a bunch of 14-year-olds to figure out. If you're looking for something quick, simple, and cheap and the sound quality isn't an issue as long as it's audible, then the Olympus W-10 is your best bet.



5. I was very pleased with my purchase - the price was good, the shipping well-protected, and It was in great condition. Instructions are clear to follow and it is very useful.

5 comments about 8.1 Mp Digital Camera Orange.

1. I poured over review after review of tons of different digital cameras before going with this one. I chose this for a few reasons: The bright orange color, the anti-shake feature, the face recognition feature and the fact that it had a lot of good reviews. It was on the cheaper side of the digital cameras that I had looked at but after using it I realized that quality didn't reflect the price! This little camera is by far the best point and shoot I have ever used. I even like it better than my SLR digital (Although mine isn't a good one like Canon). The BestShot mode is excellent and takes the guess work out of taking great pictures! The resolution is crystal clear, the focus modes are amazing and all the different BestShot modes are great! It's so small and compact you can take it anywhere and the lithium ion battery charges so quickly! I would highly recommend this product to anyone! I think the only downfall is that the manual that comes with the camera is severely lacking on telling you all about the different features however you can find this manual online in full at the Casio site. Love this camera!!!!!



2. I'm happy to add to the high rating of this awesome camera. It looks snazzy, the pictures are clear, and all the options are easy enough to find. The SD memory (bought seperately) is especially handy as I can simply pop the card out of the camera and stick it into my laptop. All that said, I do have one warning - as it has no viewfinder, trying to take a picture out in the sunshine can be a bit of a pain, because the glare on the screen makes it hard to see what you're looking at. The picture itself turns out great, but sometimes you can't see how it looks until you get under some shade.
   
   In short, this little shooter is definitely worth the price.



3. takes great pictures and videos! it even has a different color settings like black and white! you will need to buy a memory card. this color is soo cool! i had a hard time deciding between pink and orange, but orange is more unique! i love this camera and the pictures are great! its also very easy to understand and has around a 4 day batter life from each charge! however, when this seller (J&R) sent me this camera, it was disfunctional and some of the buttons didnt work. so we sent it back and got a new one that worked great!



4. This is a cool camera with many options. I bought this as a gift for a first time user and she loved it but said it wasn't really user friendly. Reading the manuel is a must . She just wanted to point and shoot but camera has too many options to adjust before taking the picture.



5. This camera was delivered very quickly. I just love it! It not only takes beautiful pictures it also takes wonderful video clips. My family loved it so much that everyone has purchased one. We now have four Casio camera's in all the different colors so know one gets confused.

5 comments about Canon PowerShot A470 7MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Red).

1. This inexpensive camera does everything well including movies. I bought one from Amazon for my 7 yr old and he has become the family photographer.
   It burns through batteries at a phenomenal rate however and I will be buying the rechargable batteries that are available for the camera.



2. I'm not a fan of the tiny cameras. Have 2 DSLR's (D200's) but felt I needed an easier carry around camera for hiking, fishing and vacations. A friend had the Canon A470 and raved about the image quality, simplicity amd price. Got one from Amazon and love it!! Not too small and a quick picture taker. Perfect for someone with rather large hands. Priced at a little over 100 bucks because it does not have a huge zoom or IS, but it does a great job for basic picture taking.



3. I have needed a digital camera for sometime, I was a little intimidated and put off buying one forever. I looked this one up in Consumer Reports which gave it a good rating. It is user friendly, easy to use, be sure and get a new memory card though, the one that comes with the camera holds about 4 pictures.



4. Tis simple digital camera is a fine tool for my 13 year old granddaughter who is enjoying it very much.



5. I'm no professional photographer...just like having a simple camera that takes quality pictures. This one is simple, the pictures are high quality and it's really easy to use. I like the large view screen too. Very good value.

5 comments about Olympus Stylus 770SW 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver).

1. Olympus Stylus 790SW 7.1MP Waterproof Digital Camera with Dual Image Stabilized 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
   
   Well, so far so good. I purchased this camera after I fell in the water while fishing the Watogga River in TN and destroyed my old HP.
   
   I wasn't looking for anything fancy, but I see some great stuff fishing and I wanted a camera tough enough not to think about.
   
   Actually, it's so small, I carry it around all the time in my shirt pocket,
   so I can take a picture at a moment's notice . This is a plus!!
   
   Some people have complained about the quality of the photos. I am very pleased with my results so far and see no need to complain .
   
   If you want a basic camera, tough enough to take anywhere, this is probably all you need.
   
   That being said, the video is not all that great. Not that I use it that much.
   
   Hope this helps,
   Allen Lipscomb.



2. The camera is easy enough to use, and it takes outstanding photographs. It is difficult to see what you are taking a picture of without an eyepiece. I took care of the camera exactly as the instructions, but had to buy 2 new batteries, they would charge, but not register in the camera. I did return the camera and was very quickly fixed. I like olympus products. If you are looking for a cheap, easy underwater camera, I suggest getting the upgrade of this model, the one with the eyepiece, you won't regret the extra money.



3. I bought this camera for my trip to Key West. I planned to do a number of snorkeling trips, and thought it would be cool to have a underwater camera.
   
   I have now owned the camera for about six months, and have had it in the water over 20 times. I have never had a problem with it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to take a digital camera to the Ocean or Beach and not worry about destroying it.
   
   Excellent Pictures. Although, the flash pictures have a tendency to allows produce red eye.



4. I puchased this camera to take on a kayaking trip. It lived up to its advertisement. Not only does it take good quality photos; it stands up very well to the adverse conditions found on salt water.



5. this camera is an excellent camera to take with you when your going in the water (salt or pool) pictures are good enough quality for me even blown up they still look good. i have not played with the video on this yet and am not really intending to but from its 15fps rate the quality will probably be on the choppy side if you really care about the video.
   underwater pictures come out good in the pool. i tried getting some in the ocean but our water is too murky and not enough light.
   I use this camera in the ocean mostly to get bodyboarding and surfing shots. ive used it about 5 or 6 times in the water, in the month that ive had it. as long as you follow the directions for keeping the water proofing it will hold up. also some water may get in near the connection ports. just dry that off (there is water proofing around the ports) and it will last
   PROS: underwater capability up to 33ft( as claimed by olympus)(ive had it 10ft, sequence shots are pretty good for a digital camera. good quality images blown up to screen size
   CONS: zoom is limited (3 times optical 5 times digital) (digital zoom not worth using just turn it off)video is shot @ 15fps
   
   i had my choices narrowed down between this camera and pentax optio w30
   [...]
   i choose the olympus and am not regretting it
