Olympus Stylus 850 SW / µ 850 SW Digital Camera

The Bottom Line: This camera is waterproof, durable, and will go on almost any vacation you can imagine.

Review: This camera was bought to replace a broken Olympus Stylus 770 SW , and I am please to note that Olympus has fixed many (but not all) of the problems found in my previous camera. Its 8 megapixels, 3x zoom, rugged shockproof body, and go anywhere...

The Bottom Line: Need a camera... this is it hands down... simple, durable and good pictures.

Review: We purchased this camera so our 5year old could also take pictures and we would not fear the camera dropping. It has exceeded our expectations in every regard. We have taken this camera to all sports events, dropped it in a pool, has had mud on it,...

The Bottom Line: This is a camera to buy when you are an outdoorsy person who wants to capture real life!

Review: Introduction

I bought this Olympus Stylus 850SW because I was looking a small camera that I could take to the lake - and even in it if I wanted. A camera that I could take out in the rain without worrying. A camera that I could hand to my...

The Bottom Line: It's a buy if you need a waterproof camera.

Review: Here's what I discovered about the video only after using the camera:
* Unless you get a special memory card, you are limited to 10 seconds of video at VGA resolution and 30 fps. So budget the expense of a special memory card into your cost. I...

The Bottom Line: This camera is great, durable, easy to use and well priced.

Review: The Olympus Stylus 850 SW is a great camera for both digital pictures as well as short videos. I have had it for almost a year now and have yet to be disappointed. This camera comes with claims to be waterproof up to 10 feet, shockproof up to 5...

Review: Up to now every digital camera I have owned has been Canon. Besides a couple of the Rebels I have owned 5 of the Elph line.

I bought the SW850 to try with my kids since they love taking pictures, going to the pool, and dropping & breaking...

The Bottom Line: I would absolutely recommend this camera to anyone looking to purchase a new, or their first digital camera.

Review: This camera is exactly what you need in a face paced, on the go society. The camera is waterproof up to 10 feet, shock proof up to 5 feet, and freeze resistant. The camera has 3x optical/5x digital/15x total zoom, which is plenty given the camera s...

The Bottom Line: The best, most durable and flexible family camera out there. Can replace your cam corder and all its accessories for capturing quick family video, also!

Review: A great little camera that can stand up to your toddler, the pool, even being dropped! Do you fall in love with a camera, only to somehow damage it or have it stop working? This is the camera for YOU. We replaced our semi-waterproof Olympus Stylus...

The Bottom Line: Would not recommend. Nice for situations when you can't use other cameras but not for general use.

Review: I recently purchased the Stylus 850SW after putting it off. I already have a point and shoot but I had planned on a lot of water activities this summer and thought a waterproof/shockproof camera would be a nice addition.

I finally picked...

Review: This camera is nice for being so rugged and durable - I doubt I would ever need to have it repaired, or break something on it. Aside from that, I am overall disappointed with it. First, it does not focus well or quickly. After an 8 hour mt. bike...
