Review: I love this camera. I have used it kayaking and in the pool to take movies and awesome pictures. I have taken it snow skiing in some very cold conditions, and has worked without fail. The only problem I am having is getting it from my ...

Pros: great video mode, easy to clean

Cons: none

Review: This is a great camera, we got it to take to the beach and it does a great job. Sand gets on the camera and we just wash it off when we get home, and no problems. The manufacturer says to wash it off and we did, a little scary, but like I said no ...

Pros: small, tough, many many features & WASHABLE!!

Cons: Can't find any!!

Review: If you are looking for a small, tough, feature filled camera, this is the one for you! Since it is waterproof to 10 feet, it is washable! Ever bring your camera to the beach only for it to be ruined by a grain of sand??? or God forbid you DROP it in ...

Cons: Picture quality!, proprietary xD memory cards, subpar battery life.

The Bottom Line: A great little camera for the avid adventurer but picture quality and battery life are huge set backs.

Cons: None from this amateur

The Bottom Line: Its great for anyone who is active and it can survive just about anything. Its easy to use as well.

Pros: It can withstand abuse and work like a charm

Cons: picture quality is not perfect

Review: I couldn't find many customers reviews on this digital, before I bought one so I'm writing this. This is a tough... excellent little camera! I have taken this camera out in minus 15, snorkeled in the ocean, basically beat it up and it stands true to ...

Pros: ruggedness, style of case ,color choice, and digital menus

Cons: image quality, XD cards, BATTERY LIFE

The Bottom Line: Wouldn't buy one unless the ruggedness is higher priority than the picture quality and the risk to take the shot at all. Would not recommend to a friend.

Review: I got this camera to replace a previous all-weather Olympus I had. I travel 'far away' both for work and fun and I have some mil-spec gear. Waterproof has been great for snow shots although lately I am more often in sandy/dusty places. That said my ...

Pros: - waterproof/shockproof design - automatic lens cover - fairly compact

Cons: white balance poor, especially indoors grainy at higher ISO expensive for the picture quality

Review: Have had this camera for a few weeks and taken indoor pictures, and some outdoor winter pictures. Wanted ONE camera that was rugged enough for outdoors but also for indoor portraits for newsletters and glossy mags. Indoors, you're best to set its ISO ...
