Olympus µ[MJU:] 850 SW

This Product was brought for me for my 20th birthday present from my partner, one year on and it is still great. It has experienced a few knocks on a few party nights, there is a little dent on the front... however still looks great. My partner and I are jetskiers and so have used it in salt water and in swimming pools and it still works great under water in both!! The cleaning when you get home is important to remember as not doing this can make it stiff, litterally just run it under a tap (due to the salt etc). i would definately recommend this product! Its Fab!!

Advantages: Incredibly Rugged, Still Slim, High Quality
Disadvantages: Low Battery Life, Lower MP than many

The Olympus 850 SW as a camera is synonymous with toughness - Waterproof to 3m, shockproof to a 1.5m drop (Higher than most people's hands!) and freezeproof to -10 degrees Centigrade, it's a quality piece of kit.

Included in the package, you'll find: * LI-42B rechargeable lithium-ion battery * Battery charger LI-40C * ...
...most other cameras in the class - But you're paying for reliability in this case, and I think the good reliability specs more than make up for that. Overall, I would rate the Olympus as a solid buy for any outdoorsman - And I think that's where's the camera's aimed. ... Read review

...and weather conditions. The Olympus camera cost around £180.00 and to be honest its completely worth it when i look at the collection of broken ones we have. He's had it now for about 6 months and so far so good. He's swam with it and dropped it many times and it still produces high quality pictures. His fingers can sometimes get in the way of the lens, because of the slim design. Overall an excellent camera thats so durable at such a decent price. ... Read review

Advantages: Great ease of use and sleek design
Disadvantages: not quite as waterproof as i would have thought

Although a decent camera I must say it is a bit shoddy. Waterproof? not all that much my three yr old managed to get water in it the first day. Though my fault i geuss. he saw me testing it and he gave it his, but all it took was water running from the facet of my tub to do it. it still works the screen just hs moisture behind it so semi waterproof would be a better description and as for its performance i like it though i do relaize i should have ...
