Digital camera reviews of Olympus Stylus 850SW 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Pink)
Digital camera Review: Love the camera but the water seal failed
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had the camera about two years. Just went swimming with it in Italy, and the water seal failed, frying the camera. I don't think I was anywhere near 10 feet underwater at any point. Really disappointed. Otherwise, I've loved the camera. (P.S. I have the black model.)Digital camera Review: Mom-Cam
Summary: 5 Stars
We needed a waterproof camera for a family vacation. I got amazing shots underwater. I got great shots out of water, too. I am a terrible picture-taker...but this camera seems to compensate for my photographic ineptitude.
Definitely glad we got a bright color; silver or blue would be easy to lose at the bottom of a pool or on a beach.
Digital camera Review: Not Idiot Proof!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this camera on August 30, 2008. I bought it from [...] with the 2GB memory card only because I could use my Best Buy credit card for the purchase. The entire reason I wanted this new camera was my old camera was 8 years old (Also an Olympus) and it was just time for a new one. I wanted it in September because I would be going to a few New Kids on the Block concerts (Don't knock 20 year love!) and really wanted a good camera I could take to the shows to take photos and video.
I received the camera on September 4, 2008. The color is BEAUTIFUL. The camera was so light. It was fantastic. So I took the battery out and I took the camera out and I went to put the battery in.
Mind you, I did not look at the directions because who really needs to look at the directions to put in a battery!?
So I try to put the battery in, it wouldn't fit. So I turn it around. Still won't fit. So I turn it another way and the battery slides right in.
I close the door, but the battery door won't close. Hrm. maybe I put the battery in wrong? Wait? Why won't the battery come out!?
I get out the directions and lo and behold there's a big X indicating how NOT to put the battery in and a little note that says "If you put the battery in the wrong way, you will not be able to get it out".
I had my camera for 5 minutes and I had to send it immediately to the shop to get it fixed. I had to spend my own money to ship it UPS (about $10) on September 5th but fortunately it was covered under warranty and I got it back on September 17th.
Maybe I am the only person out there who would figure that if a battery slides in easily, it means it's the right way... and figures that batteries won't fit in the wrong way. But I think the fact that, if you put a battery in WRONG and it won't come back out unless you send it to the shop, is absolutely ridiculous.
Aside from that, I have had no issues with the camera. Except the battery does say it's low when it's really nowhere near being low.
Basically, I'm just giving you a fair warning that if you're an idiot like me, make sure you put the battery in the right way :)
Digital camera Review: Olympus Stylus
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a digital camera that is compact, easy to use and able to withstand outdoor use. My son, who is a photographer, suggested the Olympus Stylus 850SW. It is waterproof to 10 feet (great for my snorkeling and canoe trips), easy to use, takes great pictures and is colorful and fun. A good value for the money.Digital camera Review: Olympus Stylus 850SW

Good little camera. Battery life is very short so get extra batteries. Easy to use and takes fairly good pictures.
