Pros & Cons
Pros
Camera also has a cool flashlight feature (hold menu for 5 sec) the bright white led stays on for 30sec or so. The underwater photos are really great! It takes pretty good snapshots, and the available light setting is nice when you would avoid using a... Read More
The lcd is bright and clear and just excellent. It lets you crank the iso all the way to 1600 at full resolution (and a 2500 iso can be had by switching to the faster of the two rapid-burst modes, though this sacrifices resolution) some graininess sta... Read More
It's strength is in it's ruggedness. Fit easily in velcro pocket of cargo shorts. The 3x zoom is a little restricitng, but i am also used to the larger zoom lenes on my slr.
The camera holds up to one charge just fine. There's a vendor on ebay that sells a car charger and spare battery for about ten bucks shipped.
This camera rocks. It does alot. This camera is everything it's touted to be, and maybe more. Not a wimpy camera.
Cons
Don't buy this * camera. My biggest frustration with the olympus is it is hard to operate due to its small size. Small * on the back can only be operated with one's fingernail.

1 megapixel camera was unable to produce a quality 8x10 picture.
Taking photos indoors with the flash didn't overly impress me.
Price
For the price you just can't ask for more.
Adding it up, the memory card cost me more than 29usd.
The price to repair was as much as the camera cost originally ($200).
Shipping
Since the xd card is retail package, it need additional shipping fee.
Packaging/appearance
It is pretty easy to get a bit of your finger in the picture due to the placement of the lens but it i found it easy to adjust ... Read More
Plus it plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car.
It took breathtaking shots off of the sandia crest looking out at albuquerque.
Competitiveness
Love the feature that it can go underwater without a speacial housing.
The waterproof feature makes this the most versitle camera i have ever used.
It also had a 10x zoom and was smaller than the previous sonys.
There weren't many upgrades other than the 10mp if you need that.

However since then i have purchased a 34nikon coolpix aw130 waterproof digital camera with builtin wifi34 on amazon and it is by far a superior camera in my opinion as the picture quality and zoom are far better and the seals seem superior as well
