 Love it! July 25, 2008
Beverly Schroeder (Ca)
It's a great little camera. I use it for the quick grab shots of friends,family and activities and I purchased it for it's ability to be used in different environments. I had upgraded from the 720SW due to some additional features. It seems like I'm always on a river or around water. I like the Olympus cameras as they are easy to figure out and use. Results are good and the true test came when I went on a float trip down a river with a bunch of friends. We were all on inner-tubes which means no-one is holding still for a picture. I'm constantly moving and the subject is constantly in motion. I put it on the stabilizer setting and got a lot of sharp images.
I went river rafting down the Colorado River in May and used the 720sw and again the shots were absolutely great!
Both cameras got dunked under water on these trips so for me this is a great series of cameras.

Overall great camera that is easy to use but takes great pictures in any condition!
Almost perfect July 22, 2008

I bought this as my "field" camera while out hiking, trail running, X-Ctry skiing, etc when I don't feel like carrying our normal load of camera gear. It also goes with me when deployed and field exercises with the Army.
Other than dropping it, I have put it through its paces and it continues to take quality photos. The stabilization feature works well for photos in daylight but longer exposures have noticable shake. The pictures are crisp, telephoto is more than adequate and basic macro photo is possible with this camera. It is lightweight and slim enough to be a truly portable, go anywhere camera. It really is waterproof and produces very good (but not excellent) underwater shots. The quality of photos surpasses my expectations of a point and click digital and captures plenty of detail for memorable photos. For the price, I don't think there is a better camera on the market with these features.
The only point against this camera is the battery. It does not last long enough and if you put it in backwards or upside down it will get stuck and be nearly impossible to remove (see other reviews and their own manual). This is just poor engineering/design; a simple change in the shape of the battery would prevent this flaw.
good camera July 21, 2008

I love this camera. It takes really good pictures. Awesome for taking out on a friday night. The underwater feature is awesome. However, if you are looking for a better zoom feature this is not the camera for you.
durable, high tech, easy to use July 18, 2008

This was the perfect father's day gift. Take it on the boat deep sea fishing if it gets splashed with salt water or dropped on the deck, no worries. Take it to the pool with grandkids. Freezing conditions hunting, fishing, skiing, sledding. With 8.0 megapixels and 3x internal zoom didn't sacrifice quality of pics and capability either.
Easy to use! My Dad can't remember how to check voice mail on his cell phone but had no problem with the self explanatory icons and point and shoot technology. Later models like the 1030 only add technical advancement more megapixels more zoom etc.
Only one external moving part the shutter cover. Instructions actually say to submerge in fresh water to clean it before opening. Especially after being in sandy, salty other dirty debris environments.
One very durable, yet technically satisfying product!
