Perfect
I really like this camera. When they say its durable and shockproof, they aren't lying. I have dropped this thing a lot already and there is yet to be a scratch on it. I took it under water and the pictures looks amazing and very clear. I would definitely suggest buying this camera if you have broken a bunch in the past like me.

Excellent choice
OK, it isn't a professional camera. But having carried it all over the world, I can say it has survived drops, smashes in luggage bins, duststorms in the desert, and underwater during a heavy squall in Belize. Picture quality is outstanding, and it fits in a shirt pocket. I'm exceptionally happy with it.

Water leaked in, camera failed, Olympus didn't want to honor warranty
Pros; decent photos, simple enough to use, intuitive controls, waterproof(maybe)
Cons; sliding lens cover moves in bag or pocket turning on camera and leads to dead battery. not easy to see viewfinder when snorkeling.
I treated this camera with much TLC. No drops, no freezing weather, easy photos in friendly environment.
First time I used it to take surfing pics/videos in bali it failed due to water leaking into battery compartment.
Olympus service Bangkok refused to honor 1 year warranty. After taking considerable time to scan applicable documents and email to Japan Olympus, Bangkok service reversed their decision and gave me what they claim is a new SW1050, however they refused to give me the warranty card for this allegedly NEW camera.
I ask myself why does Olympus not stand behind a brand new camera. I felt like I was pulling teeth and they gave me a camera and said "you're on your own"
I am afraid to use it for water shots because despite being brand new, if it fails for whatever reason I am alone, stuck, marooned.
I have used Olympus medical endoscopes and these fine intruments have saved lives and the support is excellent.
It is hard to believe I am dealing with the same company in the above matter.
I would have to think long and hard before purchasing another Olympus product, especially a camera. I'd still highly recommend their endoscopes.

Very Slow Shutter
There are many reviews about slow shutter but I wanted to add my experience. The shutter is so slow that the camera simply cannot be used for shots of moving scenes. I was trying to take a picture of my wife on the teacups at Disneyland. Of the 15 pictures I took, the only one that does not show her back is the one I took before the ride started. The camera is also hard to use in sunlight and is quite prone to out of focus pictures. I had a Canon before this. I will not buy another Olympus and although this camera is fairly new, I'm tossing it.

For moderate users
What I like about this camera is its underwater functions and the outlook. But it doesn't take very clear pictures as compared to my current Kodak EasyShare V550 5.0MP. A 12MP is not as clear as a 5MP? I'm surprised! But for a moderate user who want a point and shoot camera, this is good enough. I bought it for my younger brother who likes going snorkeling. Since my brother is only using it for normal photographing, he said it's good enough for him. Well, if you are looking for something with really good picture quality + waterproof, you might wanna pass this camera.

Olympus Cameras HistoryOlympus Corporation (early known as Takachiho Seisakusho) was founded by Takeshi Yamashitaon on October 12, 1919, and initially specialized in microscope and thermometer businesses. The company is named after Mount Olympus, the home of the gods in Greek mythology.
Olympus continued the tradition of manufacturing high-quality optics through the development of camera lenses, starting in 1934. Two years later the Zuiko lens was born.
 Through its history Olympus Company has manufactured various types of cameras: medium-format cameras, fully automatic zoom cameras, 35mm cameras, EE-equipped cameras, autofocus cameras - in different series.
The history of Olympus cameras began in 1936, when they introduced their first camera, the Semi-Olympus I. It was very expensive camera for that time.
In 1959 the first truly innovative camera series was launched - compact and portable (for their time) PEN models. They were half-frame format, allowing 72 pictures of 18 × 24 mm format on a stand... More About Olympus Cameras |
