Takes great pictures and holds up to teenage kids. Biggest problem with other cameras the teens would drop and that would be the end. I also really like the rechargeable battery; just like my cell phone it charges as I have it plugged in to the USB port. I think it will pay for itself just in the battery savings alone. If you expect more of the camera, get something bigger and more elaborate but it will cost you. This camera is great, I mean waterproof, and you can't beat it! Olympus has said that the warranty will cover it but I made the mistake to not save all the paperwork. However I am still considering buying a new Olympus because I really like the thought of a water proof camera and the picture quality was good.
What I love about it is that you can set the scene to whatever environment you are in. It also has a function that allows for shooting continuously.
I left the water and dried off the camera and discovered that salt water had gotten in to the battery compartment and shorted everything out. The other camera had survived the fall from the car, grade IV whitewater inside and outside my life vest and multiple underwater uses. Haven't had it in the water yet but will update when I do. It brings the best out of all the previous models and some great additions.
I used to get an occasional blurry shot with my other cameras from them not focusing well on moving objects (kids) but with this one I haven't had a bad shot yet on the kids running in the yard. It truly is amazing. Does this camera do anything automatically" Good for the money, it shoots underwater and is small and shock-proof. This does the job of both of my previous cameras, plus adds underwater options, all while taking up a quarter of the space. The only thing I would change is the delay before it takes the video or picture.
This was my 6th Olympus camera. I have been a fan of the cameras ease and durability. While I will admit the shutter lag (time in between shots) is not the fastest it is also not the slowest and actually is about the same as any previous point and shoot I have owned in the past. The best feature I have used so far is the panoramic view and how easy it is to use and how it leaves part of the last frame on there so you can line it up just right. I have also used it in low light and I amazed with how well it captured the bon fire and we could still see all the faces of the people around the fire as well.
No problems with hooking it up to the computer. Just plug it in and there it is.
I really want to like this camera and might buy another one after were refunded. It takes nice pictures and does great video but I fear it's not really reliable.
