Product Reviews
 (1 stars) - Terrible Picture Quality
I am VERY disappointed with this camera. I have tried every setting and cannot find one that takes good pictures indoors. The contrast between light and dark is very strong. The subject is often overexposed and the background is nearly black. This is unacceptable for the cost of the camera. I realize you are paying for the waterproof feature...BUT, they don't tell you on the advertisement that you need to take it to an Olympus dealer every year to have the seals replaced and the cleaning procedure after a beach trip would make me lean towards just buying a cheap disposable instead. The battery life is also unacceptable. I took excellent pictures with my old Canon Powershot and wish I had purchased a newer Canon instead. Don't waste your money! The company I purchased this from charges a 15% restocking fee for returns, so beware. I am usually very happy with all of my Amazon purchases, but I regret not buying a camera from a local store.
 (5 stars) - Excellent Camera, love it, love it, love it
Love this camera sooooo much. If I had follow other negative reviews I would have never purchase this camera. I then said to my self, that's other people reviews. I will take my chances and see. I am so happy I did. Excellent camera. Go OLYMPUS!!!!!!!
 (4 stars) - Love the camera but the water seal failed
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.)
(5 stars) - Olympus 850 SW
I had a predecessor SW camera for 5 years; this one is better. Ive taaken a number of flower photos; close up focus was great.
As always it takes awhile to learn all the menu and functions.
(5 stars) - The best camera I have ever owned
I use a digital camera every day at work to show my clients what is happening to parts of their home. I also use the camera for personal use.
The screen is big and shows a clear picture. There is also a great video recorder for shooting video not only on land but in the water. I spend 3 days straight in the ocean snorkeling off Oahu (Hawaii) and did not have one problem shooting a picture or taking a video in the water or on the land. I did push the camera to its limits shooting video while jumping off a 30 foot cliff at Waimea Bay into the ocean several times. The camera shut off at impact when jumping off the rock. I checked the seals after the jump and there was not any water that passes into the USB or the battery compartment.
The camera is small and compact and comes in a bunch of colors.
2 drawbacks as mentioned the camera uses an XD card but there is an adapter where you can use a Mini SD and as mentioned the battery life is not the longest so you may want to pick up and extra battery that comes with a car charger they are easy to find on the internet.
