If you don't read the instructions, you have nothing to complain about as other reviewers have. This camera takes awesome photos.
So now I ended up spending a lot of money on a broken camera. I'm hoping Olympus will fix it and that I just got a bad apple. It was a great buy! It's really fun to use around water, like waterparks, the pool and amusement parks. I like it very much and got this one as a gift for my fiance. We use them for video half the time.
I took it down to about 6 feet of salt water and it didn't miss a beat. The pictures were crisp, the video worked very well and I couldn't be happier. I don't know if this is an electrical, software, physical or factory defect problem, but I've read a few reviews of Olympus underwater and tough models having a similar problem, so I'm hoping I can at least get the camera fixed or repaired by Olympus, but nothing can replace the photos I can't take now. These pictures, if taken under fair conditions (sufficient light, clear water), the quality is very good.
The camera is working, but apparently initializing provides the camera with valuable software" Or provides the computer with the software"
This is the same run of the mill point and shoot, pretty much the same as most and the same quality, there are a lot of features and the video recording is decent. This camera is perfect for someone who wants a point and shoot camera that they don't have to worry about breaking. This camera is very easy to use with an easy set-up. I have not tried it under water yet but with this camera I'm not scared to let my little children run around taking picture with a fear of them dropping and breaking my camera. Good thing I also brought a higher quality Olympus digital camera with me which produced 100% crystal clear pictures. Buy this and use this for when you are IN the pool where this can get wet, but don't use it as a day to day camera.....you'll get better picture quality elsewhere. I can see this getting stuck eventually" This is what happened to me. I put the camera in the ocean to see how a picture would look; upon taking the camera out of the water the camera was unresponsive and also the shutter failed to close completely. Admittedly, I have not tried this one underwater even though I've had it for a year now, but I do take it with me to concerts, friends' sporting events, etc. Sometimes I get amazing photos, but other times they come out blurry (especially in low light). The flash overexposes every picture and the ones that are exposed correctly the color is way off. If I was using this purely for snorkeling it would be great but I need something that looks good above the water as well. Bottom line, either purchase the 8010 or look for another series. It's a great waterproof camera. If you expect more of the camera, get something bigger and more elaborate but it will cost you. This camera is great, I mean waterproof, and you can't beat it!
