Rating: - 1030SW Great Durability but soft pictures
I got this camera for taking on trips outdoors. I wanted something small that was water proof. Everything works well and the pictures during a sunny day are great. When there is less light, it suffers a bit.
Auto mode picture taking is ok but I wish there were manual modes. It is tough to get the picture I want at night.
ISO 400 and above is grainier than other compact cameras.
The pictures are a bit soft but reproducible to nice prints.
Rating: - Takes a 'lickin and keeps on tickin!
WHat an amazing camera! The video quality is great, picture quality is excellent. I recently took this camera on a 7-day cruise where I knew I would be snorkeling and spend most of my time underwater. I was afraid at first to get the baby wet...but it handles like a pro.

Rating: - I love it!
As far as I'm concerned, this is the optimal camera. It has all the features I've come to rely on with a point and shoot (video, image stabilization, autofocus, even 3x zoom) but also is waterproof and shockproof! I had no worries letting my 5 year old cousin use it unsupervised, there wasn't much she could do to it except maybe lose it. My favorite feature is the "rapid fire" mode, were I can take several pictures a second when trying to capture just the right frame.

Rating: - Exactly what he wanted
This was a gift for my husband. He is a big hunter and fisherman so it is perfect for him. He loves it. It is hard to see through the screen though looking into the sun but really that isn't a big deal for him.
Rating: - Durable point-and-shoot for the outdoors
I bought this camera to replace my old powershot SD700, which broke when it was dropped onto a carpeted floor from a height of maybe 4 feet. Overall, I'm happy with the Olympus, but it falls short of my SD700 in a few areas.
Pros:
- The Olympus is smaller than I expected. It fits easily into my pocket and is not cumbersome to carry around on backpacking trips, for example.
- This thing is durable. You can feel the "sturdiness." I added a screen protector from bestskinsever, ... Read More
